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.

Weis Markets Inc earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 6.9, placing it in the Safe zone. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

5.5%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 5.5% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 8% — well below its ~9% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.

3629% of FCF

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $175M to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025 — 3629% of free cash flow, but 85% of operating cash flow. Returns run ahead of free cash flow because the business is also funding heavy growth capex (usually debt-financed); the payout itself is covered by operating cash — sustainable as long as that spending is genuine expansion, not upkeep.
