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.

Omnicom Group Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 0.8, placing it in the Distress zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

2.1%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 2.1% in the latest fiscal year and slipping across FY2023–FY2025 from 21.0%. After-tax operating profit was $1.6B in FY2023 and $289M in FY2025, with operating income at 14.3% of revenue in FY2023, 14.5% in FY2024 and 2.6% in FY2025. The capital base behind it grew +83% across FY2023–FY2025, from $7.4B to $13.5B, while the return fell 18.9 points, so the dollars added over that window earned less than the 21.0% the older base was already earning. FY2025's operating profit carried a $1.2B restructuring charge that alone took about 6.0 points off that year's return, so about 6.0 of the 18.9-point fall across FY2023–FY2025 is that charge landing in the latest year rather than the capital earning less.
