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.

Procter & Gamble Co earns an A (High-quality, not compounding) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 4.7, placing it in the Safe zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by shareholder returns.

What the filings flag

101% of FCF
FY2026
Shareholder returns. Returned $15.3B to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2026 — 101% of free cash flow. That is $113M (0.7%) more than free cash flow covered. Over FY2026 cash rose $386M and total debt fell $1.1B, so neither line funded the gap. The FY2026 cash-flow statement filed $2.7B of debt issued against $3.4B repaid; $920M from shares issued; $508M from sales of property and equipment; net cash used in investing activities of $4.6B; net cash used in financing activities of $14.5B. That ratio has been CLIMBING past free cash flow — 87% of free cash flow two years back — not just sitting there. Counting the $524M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 104%.
