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.

Price T Rowe Group Inc earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by shareholder returns.

What the filings flag

119% of FCF

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $1.8B to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025 — 119% of free cash flow. That is $285M (19%) more than free cash flow covered, and more than operating cash flow as well. Over FY2025 cash rose $728M, so that line did not fund the gap. The FY2025 cash-flow statement filed $769M from sales and maturities of investments against $113M of investments purchased; net cash provided by investing activities of $230M; net cash used in financing activities of $1.3B. A payout past free cash flow draws the balance sheet down in every year it continues, which isn't sustainable indefinitely. Counting the $217M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 134%.
