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.

Twin Disc Inc earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 5.5, placing it in the Safe zone. 4 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

2.8%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 2.8% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 5% — well below its ~9% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.

+1.2%/yr

FY2022–FY2025

Share-count dilution. Diluted share count changed +4% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+1.2%/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 ~1.2% 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 ~3%.

$25M

FY2020–FY2020

Goodwill impairments. Took $25M of goodwill writedowns across 1 year (FY2020 ($25M)). Writedowns mean past acquisitions underperformed what was paid for them.

-49%

FY2015→FY2016

Dividend — cut. The payout was CUT ~49% in FY2016 (from FY2015) and hasn't been restored since. It still returns some cash, but it is NOT the dependable, rising dividend an unbroken streak implies.
