Why it stands out
- More disclosed holders are new or increasing than reducing or exiting.
What holds it back
- Elevated valuation: the current market price reflects a premium to this company's historical valuation and comparable companies (Valuation Intelligence 33 out of 100, Expensive).
Long-term view
JFROG LTD scores 54 on Long-Term Potential (D+), described by the research model as insufficient data. This describes business characteristics only — it is not a forecast of future returns.
Ownership view
Disclosed ownership evidence reads 76 (B): Positive disclosed activity. 3 tracked managers disclosed a position in the latest reporting period. Ownership filings are historical disclosures, not signals.
Valuation view
JFROG LTD reads 33 out of 100 on Valuation Intelligence, recorded as Expensive. The stock currently trades above most of its own recent valuation history and above comparable companies. This describes the price being paid relative to the company's financials — it is not a forecast and not a fair value. Valuation Intelligence is a research model and contributes nothing to the Suggested Investment Score or the daily ranking.
Capital returns view
JFROG LTD reads 5 out of 100 on Capital Returns Intelligence (Limited Capital Returns), reflecting a share count rising about 5.4% a year. Direct capital returns are limited because the company continues reinvesting most of its cash. Capital Returns Intelligence is a research model and contributes nothing to the Suggested Investment Score or the daily ranking.
What changed
No meaningful recorded changes in the stored history.
Risk Intelligence is a core model, Long-Term Potential, Fundamental Momentum, Valuation Intelligence and Capital Returns Intelligence are research models, and Ownership Intelligence is supplemental descriptive evidence. Valuation Intelligence and Capital Returns Intelligence each contribute 0% to the Suggested Investment Score. Nothing here is a recommendation.

What important owners are doing
Ownership Intelligence reads 76 out of 100 (B), recorded as positive disclosed activity. Above average on this measure.
What kind of price you'd be paying
Valuation is currently the main point of caution: Valuation Intelligence reads 33 out of 100 (F), recorded as Expensive. JFROG LTD reads 33 out of 100 on Valuation Intelligence, recorded as Expensive. The stock currently trades above most of its own recent valuation history and above comparable companies. This describes the price being paid relative to the company's financials — it is not a forecast and not a fair value.

How the company rewards shareholders
Capital Returns Intelligence reads 5 out of 100 (F), recorded as Limited Capital Returns. JFROG LTD reads 5 out of 100 on Capital Returns Intelligence (Limited Capital Returns), reflecting a share count rising about 5.4% a year. Direct capital returns are limited because the company continues reinvesting most of its cash. Capital Returns Intelligence is a research model and contributes nothing to the Suggested Investment Score or the daily ranking.
What could go wrong
Elevated valuation: the current market price reflects a premium to this company's historical valuation and comparable companies (Valuation Intelligence 33 out of 100, Expensive). Data confidence for this company is partial.
Bottom line
No individual layer reaches the strongest band today. Long-Term Potential remains the main area to watch. Separately from the score, valuation reads expensive at today's price.

Ownership Intelligence summarizes publicly disclosed activity among professional investment managers, broader institutions, company insiders, and significant strategic owners. It adds context to investment research but is not a validated predictor of future performance. Ownership information is publicly reported with a delay; the latest applicable reporting period is 2026-06-30, publicly disclosed 9/11/2026. Congressional activity is unavailable pending legal review and contributes nothing to this reading.
Why it ranks here
Improving fundamentals
Recent reported business trends rank among the strongest in the qualified universe.
What holds it back
Risk Intelligence is less favourable
Defensive characteristics rank below the middle of the qualified universe.
Ownership evidence is not uniformly supportive
The combined disclosed ownership evidence ranks below the qualified median.
Ownership evidence disagrees
Different owner groups point in different directions, so the combined reading is best read as mixed rather than uniformly favourable.
Price Risk is less favourable
Price Risk sits in the higher category relative to other qualified companies.

Valuation is inherently uncertain. A stock that appears inexpensive can continue falling, and a stock that appears expensive can continue rising. Valuation Intelligence provides context about the price investors are paying — it does not predict short-term market movements, and it never produces a fair value, a price target or a buy or sell range.

Stored readings only. History builds forward from activation rather than being reconstructed.
Only one stored reading exists for this measure so far, so there is nothing to chart yet.
Why higher yield isn't always better
A very high dividend yield may reflect a falling share price or an unsustainable payout. Capital Returns Intelligence emphasizes consistency and sustainability rather than simply rewarding the highest yield.
Why buybacks can be misleading
Announced or gross buyback spending does not always mean shareholders are gaining ownership. Companies can simultaneously issue shares through employee compensation or acquisitions. Suggested Investments therefore considers actual share-count changes alongside repurchase spending.
What these terms mean
- Dividend Yield
- The annual dividend relative to the current share price.
- Payout Ratio
- The share of company earnings used to pay dividends.
- Free Cash Flow Payout
- How much of the company's available cash is being used for dividends.
- Share Repurchases
- When a company buys back its own stock.
- Dilution
- When the number of shares increases, reducing each existing share's percentage ownership of the company.
- Shareholder Yield
- A combined view of dividends and net share repurchases relative to the company's market value.
Capital Returns Intelligence describes how a company returns capital to shareholders. It is not a measure of stock-price performance, it does not predict future returns, and a strong reading is never a recommendation to buy. Dividends and repurchases can be reduced or stopped at any time. Model CAPITAL_RETURNS_INTELLIGENCE_V1, contributing 0% to the Pro Investor Score.

In the company’s own words
What this company does
JFrog’s goal is to provide a system of record for the software supply chain in the Artificial Intelligence ("AI") era. As a foundational platform that provides governance, security and trust to enterprise software organizations, JFrog’s unified platform ("JFrog Platform") allows companies to successfully unify development speed, volume, security, governance and delivery of software applications across hybrid teams of developers, security professionals, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning ("AI/ML") engineers and AI agents. We envision a world where innovative, secure, compliant and trusted software is consumed, built and continuously delivered from any user to any destination; a reality we refer to as "Liquid Software."
The complimentary practices of DevOps, DevSecOps, DevGovOps, MLOps and AI development are converging within organizations, exposing new challenges in process, security, governance and compliance for software delivery. This unification continues to re-shape the composition of development teams, increase software volume, and expand enterprise digital footprints. As a pioneer in DevOps, DevSecOps, and DevGovOps, JFrog recognizes the unique potential of technology shifts and how they are best adopted within an organization.
A rapidly evolving marketplace demands a new generation of tooling that encompasses the complete software supply chain; a platform that serves many functions in an organization affected by rapid technology adoption. We anticipate that our Platform will continue to grow in relevance and impact, as companies increasingly seek to manage workflows, apply processes, deliver application security and scale their infrastructure efficiently in an AI-first world. JFrog serves demanding enterprises in some of the world’s most complex technology environments, leading the majority of the Fortune 500 to trust JFrog as a system of record across their software development organizations.
Software’s role has changed from a functional tool to a cornerstone of nearly every company, dictating that the continuous development and release of software is now a mission-critical operation. Beyond providing competitive advantage for companies, the safety and security of data and operations is software-dependent and increasingly influenced by AI.
