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.

Oshkosh Corp earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 5.7, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were 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 +5% vs -2% in cost of sales). Inventory is building a little faster than sales — watch for markdowns.

10.5%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 10.5% in the latest fiscal year and rising from 5% — around its ~9% cost of capital, so growth is roughly value-neutral.

$46M

FY2022–FY2025

Goodwill impairments. Took $46M of goodwill writedowns across 3 years (FY2022 ($2M), FY2024 ($39M), FY2025 ($6M)) — about 2% of net income over the span. Writedowns mean past acquisitions underperformed what was paid for them.
