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.

Signet Jewelers Ltd earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 4.9, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by goodwill impairments.

What the filings flag

$384M

FY2020–FY2026

Goodwill impairments. Took $384M of goodwill writedowns across 4 years (FY2021 ($11M), FY2025 ($272M), FY2026 ($54M)) — about 16% of net income over the span. A large writedown means an acquisition turned out worth far less than was paid — a real mark against M&A discipline.

9.1%

FY2026

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 9.1% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 16% — around its ~9% cost of capital, so growth is roughly value-neutral.

-75%

FY2020→FY2021

Dividend — cut. The payout was CUT ~75% in FY2021 (from FY2020) and hasn't been restored since. It still returns some cash, but it is NOT the dependable, rising dividend an unbroken streak implies.
