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.
Phreesia, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads -1.1, placing it in the Distress zone. 5 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by accruals ratio (% of noa).
What the filings flag
+59.5%
FY2025→FY2026
Accruals ratio (% of NOA).Net operating assets grew +59.5% relative to their own average in FY2026 — scaled by NOA itself, not by total assets, which is what the Forensic Screens card's own accrual row divides by. Accruals are building sharply — a large slice of profit sits in operating assets, not cash. An accrual is a claim that still has to be collected or written down, so the gap resolves in a later period whichever way it goes. The build is led by receivables up +32% against revenue +14%. A cash-flow measure on the same base disagrees: reported earnings ran behind operating cash by 27% of net operating assets, against an accruals ratio of 59.5%. The two are computed differently: the accruals ratio is the change in net operating assets over average net operating assets, while the cash-flow figure is net income less operating cash flow over that same average. Read them as two results, not one.
-1.3%
FY2026
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -1.3% in the latest fiscal year and rising across FY2024–FY2026 from -60%. The capital base behind it grew +132% across FY2024–FY2026, from $179M to $415M, and the return did not fall doing it, so the dollars added over that window earned at least the -60% the older base was already earning.
+6.2%/yr
FY2024–FY2026
Share-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +13% over the last 2 years to FY2026 (+6.2%/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 ~6.2% 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 ~11%.

Data from SEC EDGAR public filings · metrics as of Sep 24, 2026. Forensic signals flag probability, not certainty.
Stock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 14% of revenue and 124% of free cash flow in FY2026 — about $1.10 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 6.2% 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.
74d DSO
FY2025→FY2026
Receivables vs revenue.Days sales outstanding moved from 64 to 74 days FY2025→FY2026 (receivables +32% vs revenue +14%). Across FY2024–FY2026 the day count ran 66 → 64 → 74 days, so the latest reading sits on top of a record that was flat or falling before it — one year's move, not a direction the business has been travelling in. Deferred revenue grew +51% over the same period, which accounts for part of the balance but not for a day count that widened against the same quarters a year earlier. Measured against the same quarter twelve months earlier — like-for-like on the calendar, so an ordinary seasonal build cannot produce it — receivables took longer to collect in 5 consecutive quarters (Jul 2025 +5, Oct 2025 +6, Jan 2026 +9, Apr 2026 +3, Jul 2026 +3 days). In the latest of them the receivable balance grew +16% against sales +10%, so more of a quarter's billings were still outstanding at the period end than a year earlier — money the company has recognized and not yet been paid. Both figures are measured on period-end balances rather than the beginning-plus-ending average, because averaging needs the balance a year before every reading — FY2025's opening balance is on file, but across the 3 fiscal years read here (FY2024–FY2026) the average yields only 2 day counts (1 step), too few to tell a climb from one year's move.
