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 Intertechnology Inc earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 5.1, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

1.2%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 1.2% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 18% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.

FCF ($89M)

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $13M to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025, but free cash flow was ($89M) after capex — there was no free cash flow to fund the payout from at all, though operating cash flow alone was $184M — 7% of that. The entire return is coming from debt or cash reserves, not cash the business itself generated — a harder case than returns merely running ahead of free cash flow, since here there was none to run ahead of.

$66M

FY2024–FY2024

Goodwill impairments. Took $66M of goodwill writedowns across 1 year (FY2024 ($66M)). Writedowns mean past acquisitions underperformed what was paid for them.
