The five investor questions

5

2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $742M to $424M, decreasing; diluted EPS -3.19 to -9.08, decreasing.

22

Median gross margin 15.5% over 7y, stable.

0

Median ROIC -4.6%, above the 12% hurdle in 0% of years.

55

Net cash position — no leverage risk.

64

Owner earnings changed trend unclear 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.

This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. CNNE revenue fell in each of the three most recent year-over-year FY comparisons, so this estimate is flagged as unreliable for this company.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 255% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

12 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC. booked $424M of revenue in FY2025 in the Consumer Discretionary sector and kept 15.5% of it as gross profit — a thin-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −121.2% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue shrank from $1.4B (FY2015) to $424M (FY2025) — about −11.4% a year compounded over 10 years.

It earned −10.4% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 11-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was −4.4%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was −4.6%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 0/100.

The balance sheet carried $70.8M of total debt in FY2025. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 55/100.

Put together: Capital Allocation is the strongest of the five filters (64/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (0/100), which is how CNNE lands at 29/100 — a None 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.

The explained ROIC gaps have filed inputs but no meaningful positive invested-capital denominator. Other gaps mean the item is not in the filings for that year. The series is never interpolated or estimated. The Table view lists every filed value, including operating and net margins, total debt, and share count.

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.

Records still being gathered — partial as of retrieval Oct 16, 2026.

Among the rows shown, A/F/M acquisition, payment or withholding, and exercise or conversion rows outnumber S sale rows (6 versus 0). The filing codes alone do not establish that every such row arose from a compensation plan.

Trailing-12-month totals and the 90-day cluster result are withheld because this issuer walk is incomplete.

Track record

How CANNAE HOLDINGS, 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 2017–2025, 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 CNNE 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 (2018 = 100)201720192021202320252026

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, CNNE 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 CNNE

Does CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC. have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2025 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC. (CNNE) 29.2 out of 100 — below the Shallow-moat bar, so no moat. The five questions behind that score begin at 20% each; if exactly one genuinely lacks data, the other four weights are renormalized and disclosed. revenue and EPS trend 5, pricing power 22, returns on capital 0, balance-sheet safety 55, capital allocation 64.
How has CNNE's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 28 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 29.2 out of 100 (no moat). No tier changes on record yet. (Methodology or normalizer upgrades on Jul 20, 2026, Jul 23, 2026, Jul 26, 2026 re-based the score; readings across versions aren't compared.) The history is append-only — readings are only ever added, never rewritten.
