This free snapshot doesn't read filing or proxy text, so the auditor-quality and governance checks that can lower a grade were not evaluated (red flags, auditor quality, say on pay, board independence, going concern, valuation). Those checks only ever lower a grade, so the full analysis can land below the grade above but never above it — treat it as the most favourable reading, not the settled one.
Dominion Energy, Inc earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 0.9, placing it in the Distress zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.
What the filings flag
3.5%
FY2025
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is 3.5% in the latest fiscal year and steady across FY2023–FY2025, inside a 0.7-point range. The capital base behind it grew +22% across FY2023–FY2025, from $88.4B to $107.6B, and the return did not fall doing it, so the dollars added over that window earned at least the 3% the older base was already earning.
+1.1%/yr
FY2023–FY2025
Share-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +2% over the last 2 years to FY2025 (+1.1%/yr). The count is growing: more stock was issued than repurchased over this window, so aggregate results grew faster than their per-share equivalents. That's ~1.1% shaved off per-share growth every year — total profit has to grow that much just to keep earnings-per-share flat, and a stake held since FY2023 has been diluted ~2%.
+13.6%
FY2024→FY2025
Accruals ratio (% of NOA).Net operating assets grew +13.6% relative to their own average in FY2025 — scaled by NOA itself, not by total assets, which is what the Forensic Screens card's own accrual row divides by. Accruals are building faster than is comfortable — part of profit is sitting in the balance sheet rather than turning to cash. The build is led by receivables up +17% against revenue +14% and PP&E up +15% against revenue +14%. A cash-flow measure on the same base disagrees: reported earnings ran in line with operating cash by 3% of net operating assets, against an accruals ratio of 13.6%. The two are computed differently: the accruals ratio is the change in net operating assets over average net operating assets, while the cash-flow figure is net income less operating cash flow over that same average. Read them as two results, not one.
