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.

Seneca Foods Corp earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 7.8, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by cash conversion.

What the filings flag

0.35×

FY2023–FY2025

Cash conversion. Over FY2023–FY2025, operating cash flow was 0.35× cumulative net income. Reported profit is not turning into cash. The shortfall is profit tied up in working capital rather than collected — the accrual and receivables lines below show where.

5.8%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 5.8% in the latest fiscal year and steady — slightly below its ~8% cost of capital — reinvestment is roughly a wash.

n/m (stock split)

FY2022–FY2025

Share count (stock split). Diluted share count changed +79442% over the last 3 years to FY2025, but that includes a large one-time change around FY2023 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 +826.5%/yr figure isn't a real buyback/dilution read here.
