The five investor questions

2022–2026 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $16.3B to $12.6B, decreasing; diluted EPS 2.81 to 0.10, decreasing.

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

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.

85% below value if growth stopped today

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.

How to read this

What today’s price assumes: owner earnings shrinking ~32%/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. DXC 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 243% 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

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $7.1B (FY2016) to $12.6B (FY2026) — about 5.9% a year compounded over 10 years.

It earned 13.3% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2026. Across the full 11-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 14.0%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 13.8%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 70/100.

The balance sheet carried $3.6B of total debt in FY2026 against $988M of owner earnings — roughly 3.6 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 50/100.

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.

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 19, 2026.

Among the rows shown, A/F/M acquisition, payment or withholding, and exercise or conversion rows outnumber S sale rows (12 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 DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY’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 DXC on that December 31; the line below is its total-return price path (dividends reinvested) in the years since.

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 2 years DXC rated Wide-moat (2018 and 2019), the median forward total return that followed — measured only after each year’s filings were public — was:

  • 1 year −30% vs the S&P 500’s 22% (price basis) · median over 2 years
  • 3 years −30% vs the S&P 500’s 54% (price basis) · median over 2 years
  • 5 years −51% vs the S&P 500’s 85% (price basis) · median over 2 years

These are medians computed from the data, not a claim about any one year. The company figures are total returns (dividends reinvested); the S&P 500 is the price-only ^GSPC index, which excludes dividends and so understates the index — the gap flatters the company. A quality rating is not a return forecast, and past returns don’t predict future ones. Educational only, not investment advice.

Common questions about DXC

Does DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2026 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY (DXC) 58.6 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 15, pricing power not measurable from the filings, returns on capital 70, balance-sheet safety 50, capital allocation 100.
Is DXC trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $91.21 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $13.62, that is 85% below 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 DXC's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 31 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 58.6 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.
