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, going concern, valuation). 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.
Xerox Holdings Corp earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by receivables vs revenue.
What the filings flag
58d DSO
FY2024→FY2025
Receivables vs revenue.Days sales outstanding moved from 47 to 58 days FY2024→FY2025 (receivables +41% vs revenue +13%). Across FY2023–FY2025 the day count ran 45 → 47 → 58 days, so the latest reading sits on top of a record that was flat or falling before it — one year's move, not a direction the business has been travelling in. Deferred revenue grew +115% over the same period, which accounts for part of the balance but not for a day count that widened against the same quarters a year earlier. Measured against the same quarter twelve months earlier — like-for-like on the calendar, so an ordinary seasonal build cannot produce it — receivables took longer to collect in 4 consecutive quarters (Sep 2025 +7, Dec 2025 +5, Mar 2026 +9, Jun 2026 +6 days). In the latest of them the receivable balance grew +37% against sales +22%, so more of a quarter's billings were still outstanding at the period end than a year earlier — money the company has recognized and not yet been paid. Both figures are measured on period-end balances rather than the beginning-plus-ending average, because averaging needs the balance a year before every reading — FY2024's opening balance is on file, but across the 3 fiscal years read here (FY2023–FY2025) the average yields only 2 day counts (1 step), too few to tell a climb from one year's move.
