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 (red flags, auditor quality, say on pay, board independence). 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.
Duos Technologies Group, Inc. earns an F (Poor — capital at risk) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 8.5, placing it in the Safe zone. 5 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by accruals ratio (% of noa).
What the filings flag
+166.3%
FY2024→FY2025
Accruals ratio (% of NOA).Net operating assets grew +166.3% relative to their own average in FY2025 — scaled by NOA itself, not total assets (see the Forensic Screens card's differently-scaled Sloan Accrual Ratio for that read). Accruals are building sharply — a large slice of profit sits in operating assets, not cash; Richardson/Sloan link high accruals to weaker future returns as they reverse. The build is led by PP&E up +901% against revenue +271% and receivables up +570% against revenue +271%. The cash-flow cross-check agrees: reported earnings ran ahead of operating cash by 15% of net operating assets.
-14.7%
FY2025
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -14.7% in the latest fiscal year and rising from -63% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.
FCF ($4M)
FY2019
Shareholder returns.Returned $7,993 to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2019, but free cash flow was ($4M) after capex — there was no free cash flow to fund the payout from at all, and operating cash flow itself was negative or zero that year too. The entire return is coming from debt or cash reserves, not cash the business itself generated — a harder case than returns merely running ahead of free cash flow, since here there was none to run ahead of.
n/m (stock split)
FY2022–FY2025
Share count (stock split).Diluted share count changed +147% over the last 3 years to FY2025, but that includes a large one-time change around FY2025 consistent with a stock split or reverse split, not gradual buybacks or issuance — a split changes the count with NO effect on any holder's proportional ownership, so the raw +35.2%/yr figure isn't a real buyback/dilution read here.

FY2025
Stock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 15% of revenue in FY2025 — about $0.27 per diluted share. The cost of it is not in the cash flow — no cash left the business — it is in the count, and there it has run at about 10.7% a year and is falling.
