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, going concern, valuation). 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.
Te Connectivity PLC earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 8.7, placing it in the Safe zone. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by accruals ratio (% of noa).
What the filings flag
+11.1%
FY2024→FY2025
Accruals ratio (% of NOA).Net operating assets grew +11.1% relative to their own average in FY2025 — scaled by NOA itself, not by total assets, which is what the Forensic Screens card's own accrual row divides by. Accruals are building faster than is comfortable — part of profit is sitting in the balance sheet rather than turning to cash. The build is led by receivables up +11% against revenue +9%. A cash-flow measure on the same base disagrees: reported earnings ran behind operating cash by 14% of net operating assets, against an accruals ratio of 11.1%. The two are computed differently: the accruals ratio is the change in net operating assets over average net operating assets, while the cash-flow figure is net income less operating cash flow over that same average. Read them as two results, not one.
10.7%
FY2025
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is 10.7% in the latest fiscal year, against 12% in FY2023, having run between 10.7% and 14.2% across FY2023–FY2025 with no direction held. The capital base behind it grew +20% across FY2023–FY2025, from $16.3B to $19.6B, while the return fell 1.2 points, so the dollars added over that window earned less than the 12% the older base was already earning.
