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.

Garrett Motion 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 share count (stock split).

What the filings flag

n/m (stock split)

FY2022–FY2025

Share count (stock split). Diluted share count changed +213% over the last 3 years to FY2025, but that includes a large one-time change around FY2023 consistent with a stock split or reverse split, not gradual buybacks or issuance — a split changes the count with NO effect on any holder's proportional ownership, so the raw +46.3%/yr figure isn't a real buyback/dilution read here.

0.8% of rev

FY2025

Stock-based comp load. Stock-based compensation ran 0.8% of revenue and 8% of free cash flow in FY2025 — about $0.13 per diluted share. The cost of it is not in the cash flow — no cash left the business — it is in the count, and there it has run at about 8.5% a year and is falling.

-49%

FY2022→FY2023

Dividend — cut. The payout was CUT ~49% in FY2023 (from FY2022) and hasn't been restored since. It still returns some cash, but it is NOT the dependable, rising dividend an unbroken streak implies. Measured on total dividend dollars rather than per share: the reported share count steps sharply around FY2023, a stock-split seam between filing vintages rather than a change in the payout, and a split leaves the dollars paid untouched.
