On the watchlist
2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $3.4B to $4.1B, increasing; diluted EPS 4.07 to 22.56, increasing.
Not enough years of gross-margin data to score pricing power.
Median ROIC 11.1%, above the 12% hurdle in 50% of years.
Net debt/EBITDA 1.6x, interest coverage 5x.
Owner earnings changed +16.8%/yr over up to the ten most recent annual observations.
The pricingPower component abstained: Not enough years of gross-margin data to score pricing power. The other four 20% weights were renormalized over the scored 80%.
A cautious baseline, not a price target: what the shares may support if normalized owner earnings simply hold steady.
A discount this large is often a warning rather than a bargain — the market may expect earnings to keep falling. See the revenue trend above.
What today’s price assumes: owner earnings shrinking ~1%/yr over 5 years. The estimate assumes owner earnings stay flat (0% growth).
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 239% above the zero-growth estimate across 48 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 0% (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.
Across the filed record, revenue grew from $1.6B (FY2009) to $4.1B (FY2025) — about 5.9% a year compounded over 16 years.
It earned 13.7% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 17-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 7.5%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 11.1%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 44/100.
The balance sheet carried $2.0B of total debt in FY2025 against $1.8B of owner earnings — roughly 1.1 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 40/100.
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.

Scores are logged append-only and never overwritten — this record cannot be reconstructed retroactively, which is exactly why it’s worth keeping.
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.
