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.

Rpc Inc earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 8.6, 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

2.8%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 2.8% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 26% — well below its ~8% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.

+16.7%

FY2024→FY2025

Accruals ratio (% of NOA). Net operating assets grew +16.7% relative to their own average in FY2025 — scaled by NOA itself, not total assets (see the Forensic Screens card's differently-scaled Sloan Accrual Ratio for that read). Accruals are building faster than is comfortable — part of profit is sitting in the balance sheet rather than turning to cash. The build is led by receivables up +18% against revenue +15% and inventory up +11% against +19% in cost of sales. The cash-flow cross-check is more mixed: reported earnings ran behind operating cash by 21% of net operating assets, diverging from the balance-sheet accrual read.

-0.2%/yr

FY2022–FY2025

Share count. Diluted share count changed -1% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (-0.2%/yr). Roughly flat — buybacks ($3M) are about offsetting stock comp ($12M), not shrinking the count. Per-share value isn't being meaningfully helped or hurt by the count.
