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.

Public Service Enterprise Group Inc earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 1.9, placing it in the Grey zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

5.0%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 5.0% in the latest fiscal year and rising from 3% — around its ~6% cost of capital, so growth is roughly value-neutral.

+0.0%/yr

FY2022–FY2025

Share count. Diluted share count changed +0% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+0.0%/yr). Roughly flat — the count is neither shrinking nor growing meaningfully. Per-share value isn't being meaningfully helped or hurt by the count.

4838% of FCF

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $1.3B to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025 — 4838% of free cash flow, but 38% of operating cash flow. Returns run ahead of free cash flow, with the gap funded by debt or cash reserves rather than the cash the business itself throws off; the payout itself is still covered by operating cash. Counting the $43M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 5004%.
