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.

Permian Resources Corp earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 3.6, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

7.1%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 7.1% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 11% — around its ~8% cost of capital, so growth is roughly value-neutral.

n/m (stock split)

FY2022–FY2025

Share count (stock split). Diluted share count changed +126% over the last 3 years to FY2025, but that includes a large one-time change around FY2024 consistent with a stock split or reverse split, not gradual buybacks or issuance — a split changes the count with NO effect on any holder's proportional ownership, so the raw +31.3%/yr figure isn't a real buyback/dilution read here.

1.4% of rev

FY2025

Stock-based comp load. Stock-based compensation ran 1.4% of revenue and 2% of free cash flow in FY2025 — about $0.10 per diluted share. The cost of it is not in the cash flow — no cash left the business — it is in the count, and there it has run at about 10.5% a year and is falling.
