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.

Valmont Industries Inc earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 6.8, placing it in the Safe zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by goodwill impairments.

What the filings flag

$187M
FY2023–FY2025
Goodwill impairments. Took $187M of goodwill writedowns across 2 years (FY2023 ($122M), FY2025 ($65M)) — about 22% 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.
