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.

Rush Enterprises Inc \Tx\ earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 3.9, placing it in the Safe zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

11.1%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 11.1% in the latest fiscal year and slipping across FY2023–FY2025 from 15.4%. After-tax operating profit was $386M in FY2023 and $303M in FY2025, with operating income at 6.5% of revenue in FY2023, 6.0% in FY2024 and 5.3% in FY2025. The capital base behind it cannot be compared across FY2023–FY2025: short-term debt is tagged in one of those two fiscal years and not the other, and an untagged line enters this calculation as zero, so any change in the base would be a change in what the filer tagged.
