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.

Monro, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 0.5, 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

1.3%

FY2026

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 1.3% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 4% — well below its ~9% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.

90% of FCF

FY2026

Shareholder returns. Returned $35M to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2026 — 90% of free cash flow. Right at the limit of what free cash flow covers — little room before it's funded by debt or the balance sheet. That ratio has been CLIMBING toward the limit — 76% of free cash flow a few years back — not just sitting there. Counting the $4M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 100%.
