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.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co /Oh/ earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 0.9, placing it in the Distress zone. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

1.9%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 1.9% in the latest fiscal year and rising across FY2023–FY2025 from -1.0%. After-tax operating profit was ($149M) in FY2023 and $246M in FY2025. The capital base behind it came down -11% across FY2023–FY2025, from $14.3B to $12.8B, so this return is struck on a smaller base than it started on. FY2023's operating profit carried a $502M restructuring charge and a $230M goodwill write-off that took about 4.0 points off that year's return, and FY2025's carried a $674M goodwill write-off and a $194M restructuring charge that took about 5.4 points off the latest; so, net of each other, the two charges take about 1.4 points off the +2.9-point change across FY2023–FY2025. FY2024's operating profit carried a $86M restructuring charge that alone took about 0.4 points off that year's return; FY2024 sits between the two ends of FY2023–FY2025, so the charge shapes the path between them without moving the change across it. A non-cash write-down lowers the reported return in the year it lands.

$904M

FY2023–FY2025

Goodwill impairments. Took $904M of goodwill writedowns across 2 years (FY2023 ($230M), FY2025 ($674M)). Writedowns mean past acquisitions underperformed what was paid for them.
