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.

Matador Resources Co earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 2.5, 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

10.0%
FY2025
Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 10.0% in the latest fiscal year and slipping across FY2023–FY2025 from 14.4%. After-tax operating profit was $1.0B in FY2023 and $1.0B in FY2025, with operating income at 43.1% of revenue in FY2023, 40.9% in FY2024 and 33.2% in FY2025. The capital base behind it grew +47% across FY2023–FY2025, from $7.0B to $10.2B, while the return fell 4.4 points, so the dollars added over that window earned less than the 14.4% the older base was already earning.
