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, going concern, valuation). 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.
Mongodb, Inc. earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 15.0, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.
What the filings flag
-5.4%
FY2026
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -5.4% in the latest fiscal year and rising across FY2024–FY2026 from -12%. The capital base behind it grew +34% across FY2024–FY2026, from $1.5B to $2.0B, and the return did not fall doing it, so the dollars added over that window earned at least the -12% the older base was already earning.
+6.8%/yr
FY2024–FY2026
Share-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +14% over the last 2 years to FY2026 (+6.8%/yr). The count is growing: more stock was issued than repurchased over this window, so aggregate results grew faster than their per-share equivalents. That's ~6.8% 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 ~12%.
22% of rev
FY2026
Stock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 22% of revenue and 110% of free cash flow in FY2026 — about $6.78 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 6.8% a year and that rate is not falling, so total profit has to grow by that much annually before any of it reaches a share. 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.
