Chemours Company (CC) Insider, 13F Hedge Fund & Politician Buy/Sell Thermometer

Per the Roarable RQD rating, CC scores 36 out of 100 with a letter grade of D- and a verdict label of "Roarable Sell — Vulnerable Balance Sheet & Flow." The five pillars are:

• Fundamental Cash Engine: 12 / 20. The RQD summary cites ROIC of -35% and an FCF yield of 2.57%. Negative ROIC means the business is currently not earning a return on the capital it employs, which is the core concern for a prospective investor. The 2.57% FCF yield is positive but modest; it indicates some cash generation relative to market value without implying strength.
• Whale 13F Flow: 4 / 20. Per the RQD rating, institutional flow is weak. Because the holders section is empty in the source data, the specific reasons for this score cannot be verified here.
• Insider Conviction: 8 / 20. Per the RQD rating, the score reflects SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR flow. No insider transaction detail is provided in the source data, so the composition of this score cannot be checked.
• Macro Regime Fit: 3 / 20. Per the RQD rating, beta is 1.0 (per market data) and the score reflects sector sensitivity. This is the second-lowest pillar, suggesting limited defensive characteristics in the RQD framework.
• Forensic Balance Sheet: 9 / 20. Per the RQD rating, Altman Z is 2.5, Piotroski F is 4/9, and Debt/Equity is 8.5. A Piotroski score of 4 out of 9 indicates mixed financial-quality signals, and a Debt/Equity of 8.5 indicates heavy leverage relative to equity.

Investor implications: the upside case rests on the cash-generation pillar and a stock price that has moved sharply within its 52-week range. Valuation is difficult to assess directly because P/E, forward P/E, EV/EBITDA, and EPS are not available in source data. The weakest pillars (Macro Regime Fit and Whale Flow) suggest the market structure surrounding the stock is not currently supportive, and the balance sheet pillar indicates financial vulnerability. The overall RQD verdict is a Sell designation, reflecting these combined weaknesses rather than any single factor.

Per the SEC financials, net income was negative in FY 2025 and FY 2023 and positive in FY 2024. Per the market data, the gross margin is 15.5%, the operating margin is 0%, and the net margin is -6.6%. Per the RQD rating, ROIC is -35%, the Altman Z-Score is 2.5, and the Piotroski F-Score is 4/9. Per the RQD rating, Debt/Equity is 8.5, and per the SEC financials, FY 2025 debt of $4099.0M exceeds cash of $670.0M.
