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.

Janus International Group, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 4.0, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by inventory days.

What the filings flag

40d

FY2024→FY2026

Inventory days. Days inventory outstanding moved from 34 to 40 FY2024→FY2026 (against cost of goods sold; inventory +10% vs -4% in cost of sales). Inventory is building a little faster than sales — watch for markdowns. FY2024 and FY2026 aren't consecutive filed years here, so FY2026's opening balance can't be taken from FY2024 — both figures are measured on period-end balances rather than the beginning-plus-ending average, which keeps the two endpoints comparable to each other.

6.6%

FY2026

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 6.6% in the latest fiscal year and slipping from 12% — slightly below its ~9% cost of capital — reinvestment is roughly a wash.

1.8% of rev

FY2026

Stock-based comp load. Stock-based compensation ran 1.8% of revenue and 14% of free cash flow in FY2026 — about $0.12 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 11.1% a year and is falling.
