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.

Regal Rexnord Corp earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 3.3, placing it in the Safe zone. 5 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

4.5%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 4.5% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 6% — well below its ~9% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.

125d

FY2024→FY2025

Inventory days. Days inventory outstanding moved from 119 to 125 FY2024→FY2025 (against cost of goods sold; inventory +8% vs -3% in cost of sales). Inventory is building a little faster than sales — watch for markdowns.

-0.2%/yr

FY2022–FY2025

Share count. Diluted share count changed -1% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (-0.2%/yr). Roughly flat — the count is neither shrinking nor growing meaningfully. Per-share value isn't being meaningfully helped or hurt by the count.

$101M

FY2020–FY2023

Goodwill impairments. Took $101M of goodwill writedowns across 3 years (FY2020 ($10M), FY2021 ($33M), FY2023 ($57M)) — about 12% of net income over the span. Writedowns mean past acquisitions underperformed what was paid for them.

-81%

FY2021→FY2022

Dividend — cut. The payout was CUT ~81% in FY2022 (from FY2021) and hasn't been restored since. It still returns some cash, but it is NOT the dependable, rising dividend an unbroken streak implies.
