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.

Flowserve Corp earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 5.3, placing it in the Safe zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

8.2%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 8.2% in the latest fiscal year, against 9.4% in FY2023, having run between 8.2% and 10.9% across FY2023–FY2025 with no direction held. After-tax operating profit was $300M in FY2023 and $281M in FY2025, with operating income at 7.7% of revenue in FY2023, 10.1% in FY2024 and 8.5% in FY2025. The capital base behind it went from $3.2B in FY2023 to $3.4B in FY2025 (+8%), while the revenue it carried went from $4.3B to $4.7B. Across FY2024–FY2025, $524M went into capital expenditure and acquisitions against $155M of depreciation excluding $26M of intangible-asset amortisation. The base is struck net of amortisation, write-downs and the current liabilities that fund it, so it moved by less than that spending net of the wear, and this row does not say which of those absorbed the difference.
