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.

Shoe Station Group Inc earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 6.4, placing it in the Safe zone. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by inventory days.

What the filings flag

209d
FY2025→FY2026
Inventory days. Days inventory outstanding moved from 173 to 209 FY2025→FY2026 (against cost of goods sold; inventory +14% vs -7% in cost of sales). Inventory is outrunning what's being sold — a flag for softening demand or obsolescence risk ahead.
5.5%
FY2026
Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 5.5% in the latest fiscal year and slipping across FY2024–FY2026 from 8.8%. After-tax operating profit was $71M in FY2024 and $50M in FY2026, with operating income at 8.0% of revenue in FY2024, 7.6% in FY2025 and 5.9% in FY2026. The capital base behind it grew +11% across FY2024–FY2026, from $815M to $906M, while the return fell 3.3 points, so the dollars added over that window earned less than the 8.8% the older base was already earning.
