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). 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.

Acushnet Holdings Corp. earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 6.3, placing it in the Safe zone. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by shareholder returns.

What the filings flag

223% of FCF

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $268M to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025 — 223% of free cash flow. More than free cash flow generated — and beyond operating cash too, so the extra is coming from debt or cash reserves, which isn't sustainable indefinitely. Counting the $29M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 247%.

12.2%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 12.2% in the latest fiscal year and steady — a modest positive spread over its ~9% cost of capital — growth adds value, though not dramatically.
