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.

Movado Group Inc earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 8.1, placing it in the Safe zone. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

5.8%

FY2026

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 5.8% in the latest fiscal year, against 8.4% in FY2024, having run between 3.4% and 8.4% across FY2024–FY2026 with no direction held. After-tax operating profit was $38M in FY2024 and $23M in FY2026, with operating income at 7.3% of revenue in FY2024, 3.1% in FY2025 and 4.4% in FY2026. The capital base behind it came down -10% across FY2024–FY2026, from $450M to $403M, so this return is struck on a smaller base than it started on.

-41%

FY2024→FY2025

Dividend — cut. The payout was CUT ~41% in FY2025 (from FY2024). It still returns some cash, but it is NOT the dependable, rising dividend an unbroken streak implies.
