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.

Vishay Precision Group, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 12.0, 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

2.9%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 2.9% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 11% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.

stopped

FY2024→FY2025

Shareholder returns — halted. Capital returns have STOPPED — $8M of buybacks + dividends in FY2024, but ~$0 in FY2025. A halt usually means the company is conserving cash.

$4M

FY2020–FY2021

Goodwill impairments. Took $4M of goodwill writedowns across 2 years (FY2020 ($2M), FY2021 ($1M)) — about 11% of net income over the span. Writedowns mean past acquisitions underperformed what was paid for them.

-57%

FY2022→FY2023

Dividend — cut. The payout was CUT ~57% in FY2023 (from FY2022) and hasn't been restored since. It still returns some cash, but it is NOT the dependable, rising dividend an unbroken streak implies.
