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.

Tapestry, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 6.5, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by shareholder returns.

What the filings flag

184% of FCF

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $2.0B to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025 — 184% of free cash flow. More than free cash flow generated — and beyond operating cash too, so the extra is coming from debt or cash reserves, which isn't sustainable indefinitely. Counting the $87M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 192%.

$244M

FY2025–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.

8.9%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 8.9% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 19% — around its ~9% cost of capital, so growth is roughly value-neutral.
