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.

ITT Inc. earns an A (High-quality compounder) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 6.3, placing it in the Safe zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by shareholder returns.

What the filings flag

115% of FCF

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $632M to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025 — 115% of free cash flow. That is $84M (15%) more than free cash flow covered. Total debt rose $289M over FY2025, while cash and short-term investments rose $1.3B, so the borrowing was kept, not spent on the gap. The FY2025 cash-flow statement filed $749M of debt issued against $462M repaid; $1.3B from shares issued; net cash used in investing activities of $120M; net cash provided by financing activities of $729M. A payout past free cash flow draws the balance sheet down in every year it continues, which isn't sustainable indefinitely. Counting the $36M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 122%.
