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.

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 2.1, placing it in the Grey zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

-17.9%
FY2026
Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is -17.9% in the latest fiscal year and slipping across FY2024–FY2026 from -2.3%. After-tax operating profit was ($13M) in FY2024 and ($232M) in FY2026, with operating income at -0.6% of revenue in FY2024, -2.9% in FY2025 and -6.1% in FY2026. The capital base behind it grew +126% across FY2024–FY2026, from $574M to $1.3B, while the return fell 15.6 points, so the dollars added over that window earned less than the -2.3% the older base was already earning. FY2026's operating profit carried a $45M restructuring charge that alone took about 2.7 points off that year's return, so about 2.7 of the 15.6-point fall across FY2024–FY2026 is that charge landing in the latest year rather than the capital earning less.
