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.

Minerals Technologies Inc earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 4.6, placing it in the Safe zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

1.4%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 1.4% in the latest fiscal year, against 5.2% in FY2023, having run between 1.4% and 8.0% across FY2023–FY2025 with no direction held. After-tax operating profit was $134M in FY2023 and $37M in FY2025, with operating income at 7.9% of revenue in FY2023, 13.5% in FY2024 and 2.3% in FY2025. The capital base behind it went from $2.6B in FY2023 to $2.6B in FY2025 (+2%), while the revenue it carried went from $2.2B to $2.1B. FY2023's operating profit carried a $72M asset write-down and a $7M restructuring charge that took about 2.4 points off that year's return, and FY2025's carried a $15M restructuring charge that took about 0.5 points off the latest; so, net of each other, the two charges add about 1.9 points to the -3.8-point change across FY2023–FY2025. A non-cash write-down lowers the reported return in the year it lands.
