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.

Paccar Inc earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

12.9%
FY2025
Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 12.9% in the latest fiscal year and slipping across FY2023–FY2025 from 29.0%. After-tax operating profit was $4.6B in FY2023 and $2.4B in FY2025. The capital base behind it grew +16% across FY2023–FY2025, from $15.9B to $18.4B, while the return fell 16.1 points, so the dollars added over that window earned less than the 29.0% the older base was already earning.
