The five investor questions

88

2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $3.2B to $3.8B, increasing; diluted EPS 3.61 to 5.89, increasing.

52

Median gross margin 29.5% over 5y, very stable.

32

Median ROIC 10.0%, above the 12% hurdle in 30% of years.

55

Net debt/EBITDA 1.4x, interest coverage 10x.

54

Owner earnings changed +6.6%/yr over up to the ten most recent annual observations.

Price vs. value if growth stopped today

A cautious baseline, not a price target: what the shares may support if normalized owner earnings simply hold steady.

154% above value if growth stopped today

What today’s price assumes: owner earnings growing ~20%/yr over 5 years. The zero-growth estimate assumes owner earnings stay flat (0% growth).

How to read this

We solve for the constant annual change in owner earnings that would make the five-year zero-growth estimate equal today’s price. This keeps the existing model inputs and calculation unchanged; it is an expectations lens, not a forecast.

This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 243% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

Model details under moat-index@3.0.0: zero-growth multiple 11.1×, capped-growth comparison at no more than 18×; 9% discount rate; high-end growth 4% (capped at 4%) using min(5y revenue CAGR, 5y diluted-EPS CAGR), clamped to 0%–4%; maintenance capex uses min(capex, D&A); abstain when D&A is unavailable. This is a disclosed model range, not intrinsic value as fact.

19 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $2.1B (FY2008) to $3.8B (FY2025) — about 3.6% a year compounded over 17 years.

It earned 10.7% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 18-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 11.1%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 10.0%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 32/100.

The balance sheet carried $1.5B of total debt in FY2025 against $410M of owner earnings — roughly 3.6 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 55/100.

Put together: Business Trend is the strongest of the five filters (88/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (32/100), which is how ATR lands at 56/100 — a Shallow moat.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.

Insider activity

Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”

These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.

This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.

Track record

How AptarGroup, Inc’s moat rated in each of the years we can reconstruct from its filings — scored only on what was knowable at the time — and what its price and returns did afterward. The score never saw a price; the two are joined only in hindsight, for education, not as a signal.

Point-in-time scores 2011–2025, one methodology version · reconstructed from filings on file each Dec 31 — never with hindsight

Point-in-time Moat Score (dot colored by tier)Indexed price (total-return (dividends reinvested))Rated Wide-moat that year

How to read this: each dot is what the engine would have scored ATR on that December 31; the line below is its total-return price path (dividends reinvested) in the years since.

0406080100WideNarrowShallowNo moatPoint-in-time Moat Score100200Indexed price · log scale (2012 = 100)201120142017202020232026

Two tracks, one timeline: the score has its own 0–100 scale (top), the price its own 100-based scale (bottom) — never a shared axis. The price path is a total-return (dividends reinvested) index built from the same data the forward returns use; gaps in the score line are years with no reconstructed rating (see the table for why). The Table view carries every value.

What followed, in the years it rated Wide

In the reconstructed history shown, ATR did not rate Wide-moat in any year, so there is no wide-moat track record to report. That absence is itself the honest answer — we don’t manufacture a comparison where the rating never earned one.

Common questions about ATR

Does AptarGroup, Inc have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2025 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores AptarGroup, Inc (ATR) 56.3 out of 100 — a Shallow moat.

Is ATR trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $49.10 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $124.51, that is 154% above value if growth stopped today. The model also publishes a capped-growth comparison, but the zero-growth estimate is the cautious baseline. It assumes trailing owner earnings persist and is unreliable for declining businesses. This is an educational estimate from primary SEC filings, not intrinsic value as a fact or investment advice.
