The five investor questions

91

2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $840M to $1.2B, increasing; diluted EPS 3.16 to 4.30, increasing.

—

Not enough years of gross-margin data to score pricing power.

1

Median ROIC 5.2%, above the 12% hurdle in 0% of years.

8

Net debt/EBITDA 3.8x, interest coverage 4x.

70

Owner earnings changed +13.7%/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%.

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.

260% above value if growth stopped today

What today’s price assumes: owner earnings growing ~29%/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. Flag status unavailable — four adjacent recent FY revenue observations are required.

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.

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.

The insider-filing service is temporarily unavailable, so no partial or guessed answer is shown for DTM.

Common questions about DTM

Does DT Midstream, Inc. have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2025 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores DT Midstream, Inc. (DTM) 42.4 out of 100 — a Shallow 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 91, pricing power not measurable from the filings, returns on capital 1, balance-sheet safety 8, capital allocation 70.
Is DTM trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $40.43 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $145.69, that is 260% 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.
How has DTM's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 16 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 42.4 out of 100 (shallow 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.
