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.

Tapestry, Inc. earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 1.7, placing it in the Grey zone. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by goodwill impairments.

What the filings flag

$244M
FY2025
Goodwill impairments. Took $244M of goodwill writedowns across 1 year (FY2025 ($244M)) — about 133% 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.
104% of FCF
FY2026
Shareholder returns. Returned $1.9B to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2026 — 104% of free cash flow. That is $68M (4%) more than free cash flow covered. Over FY2026 cash, short-term investments and long-term marketable securities rose $32M and total debt fell $17M, so neither line funded the gap. The FY2026 cash-flow statement filed $2M from sales and maturities of investments against $163M of investments purchased; net cash used in investing activities of $218M; net cash used in financing activities of $1.9B. That ratio has been CLIMBING past free cash flow — 28% of free cash flow two years back — not just sitting there. Counting the $104M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 110%.
