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.

Strattec Security Corp earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 8.0, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by share-count dilution.

What the filings flag

+1.4%/yr

FY2022–FY2025

Share-count dilution. Diluted share count changed +4% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+1.4%/yr). The count is growing: more stock was issued than repurchased over this window, so aggregate results grew faster than their per-share equivalents. That's ~1.4% shaved off per-share growth every year — total profit has to grow that much just to keep earnings-per-share flat, and a stake held since FY2022 has been diluted ~4%.

9.3%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 9.3% in the latest fiscal year and rising from 3% — around its ~9% cost of capital, so growth is roughly value-neutral.

-66%

FY2011→FY2012

Dividend — cut. The payout was CUT ~66% in FY2012 (from FY2011) and hasn't been restored since. It still returns some cash, but it is NOT the dependable, rising dividend an unbroken streak implies.
