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.

Newmarket Corp earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 4.9, placing it in the Safe zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by inventory days.

What the filings flag

98d
FY2024→FY2025
Inventory days. Days inventory outstanding moved from 92 to 98 FY2024→FY2025 (against cost of goods sold; inventory -1% vs -2% in cost of sales). Inventory did not fall as fast as cost of sales, so days on hand lengthened — watch for markdowns.
