Oxford Industries Inc. (OXM) — RQD Stock Rating Cockpit

Per the Roarable RQD rating, OXM scores 47 out of 100, a D grade, labeled "Roarable Sell — Underperform / Distribution Warning." Across the five pillars, the fundamental cash engine scores 12 of 20 (ROIC -4%; FCF yield 2.64%), the whale 13F flow scores 7 of 20 (institutional accumulation and options positioning), insider conviction scores 9 of 20 (SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow), macro regime fit scores 8 of 20 (beta 1.0; sector sensitivity), and forensic balance sheet scores 11 of 20 (Altman Z 2.5; Piotroski F 6/9; Debt/Equity 0.23). The weakest pillars are whale flow and macro fit, both at or below 40% of their maximum. For a prospective investor, the rating points to a negative operating profile: returns on capital are negative, and the sub-scores signal limited institutional conviction and little support from insider flow. Upside depends on a turnaround in cash generation, which the current data does not yet show on an earnings basis. The balance sheet provides partial mitigation, with leverage modest and forensic scores moderate, but the rating frames the stock as a distribution-risk name rather than a value-recovery candidate.

Per the SEC financials, revenue declined across the three reported periods while FY 2025 moved to an operating loss and net loss. Per the market data, operating margin is -2.1%, net margin is -1.9%, and ROIC is -4%. Per the Roarable RQD rating, the Altman Z-Score is 2.5 and the Piotroski F-Score is 6/9. Debt rose from $31.1M in FY 2024 to $116.4M in FY 2025, while reported cash was $8.1M, and Debt/Equity is 0.23 per the forensic pillar.
