The income statement can flatter a company for quarters. The balance sheet tells the truth sooner. Alex and Jordan walk line by line through the red flags — disappearing cash, receivables growing far faster than revenue (days sales outstanding exploding from 48 to 122 days), inventory piling up, a current ratio slipping below 1, interest coverage falling under 1x, goodwill stuffing, and equity shrinking under debt-funded buybacks — using the fictional BrightPath Home Goods, contrasted with the healthy fictional CedarWorks Tools, and ending with a 10-minute balance-sheet checklist you can use on any company.
