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.

Wesco International Inc earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 5.3, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by shareholder returns.

What the filings flag

648% of FCF

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $163M to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025 — 648% of free cash flow. More than free cash flow generated — and beyond operating cash too, so the extra is coming from debt or cash reserves, which isn't sustainable indefinitely. Counting the $40M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 809%.

0.81×

FY2023–FY2025

Cash conversion. Over FY2023–FY2025, operating cash flow was 0.81× cumulative net income. Cash is lagging reported profit. The shortfall is profit tied up in working capital rather than collected — the accrual and receivables lines below show where.

7.6%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 7.6% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 10% — around its ~8% cost of capital, so growth is roughly value-neutral.
