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 (auditor quality, say on pay, board independence, going concern). 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.
Amentum Holdings, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 1.3, placing it in the Grey zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.
What the filings flag
3.4%
FY2025
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is 3.4% in the latest fiscal year, close to the 2.4% of FY2024. After-tax operating profit was $230M in FY2024 and $312M in FY2025, with operating income at 3.5% of revenue in FY2024 and 3.3% in FY2025. The capital base behind it went from $9.6B in FY2024 to $9.2B in FY2025 (-5%), while the revenue it carried went from $8.4B to $14.4B.
+168.1%/yr
FY2024–FY2025
Share-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +168% over the last 1 year to FY2025 (+168.1%/yr). The count is growing — 91.0M shares in FY2024, 244.0M in FY2025: more stock was issued than repurchased over this window, so aggregate results grew faster than their per-share equivalents. That's ~168.1% shaved off per-share growth every year — total profit has to grow that much just to keep earnings-per-share flat, and a stake held since FY2024 has been diluted ~63%.

FY2025
Stock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 0.1% of revenue and 4% of free cash flow in FY2025 — about $0.09 per diluted share. No cash left the business to pay it, which is why operating cash flow adds it back. Net of repurchases the diluted count still rose about 168.1% a year across FY2024–FY2025, above the level at which the count is a material claim on a stake, and only one year's change is on file — enough to state what a holder gave up, not enough to say whether the rate is climbing or coming down. Stock compensation is one source of that issuance; acquisition consideration, equity raises, convertibles and other employee plans also net into the count, and these figures do not separate them.
