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 (auditor quality, say on pay, board independence, going concern). 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.

Diebold Nixdorf, Inc earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 1.6, placing it in the Grey zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

9.5%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 9.5% in the latest fiscal year, against 5.7% in FY2024. After-tax operating profit was $118M in FY2024 and $195M in FY2025, with operating income at 4.9% of revenue in FY2024 and 6.4% in FY2025. The capital base behind it cannot be compared across FY2024–FY2025: short-term debt is tagged in one of those two fiscal years and not the other, and an untagged line enters this calculation as zero, so any change in the base would be a change in what the filer tagged. FY2024's operating profit carried a $106M restructuring charge and a $2M asset write-down that took about 3.4 points off that year's return, and FY2025's carried a $94M restructuring charge that took about 3.7 points off the latest; so, net of each other, the two charges take about 0.3 points off the +3.8-point change across FY2024–FY2025. A non-cash write-down lowers the reported return in the year it lands.
