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, going concern, valuation). 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.

Qvc Group, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads -7.5, placing it in the Distress zone. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

-28.8%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is -28.8% in the latest fiscal year, against 8% in FY2021, having run between -28.8% and 7.7% across FY2021–FY2025 with no direction held — well below the ~9% cost of capital we hold this sector to, and it has been across FY2022–FY2025, so reinvested dollars have not been earning their keep. The capital base behind it came down -58% across FY2021–FY2025, from $13.2B to $5.5B, so this is a return struck on a smaller base rather than a record of money put to work.

$5.1B

FY2022–FY2025

Goodwill impairments. Took $5.1B of goodwill writedowns across 4 years (FY2023 ($326M), FY2024 ($902M), FY2025 ($1.5B)). Writedowns mean past acquisitions underperformed what was paid for them.
