This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. EAF 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.
Missing a usable price or zero-growth estimate: ANF.

20 years of fundamentals
The business, in plain English
GRAFTECH INTERNATIONAL LTD. booked $504M of revenue in FY2025 in the Industrials sector and kept −3.1% of it as gross profit — a thin-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −43.6% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.
Across the filed record, revenue shrank from $1.0B (FY2007) to $504M (FY2025) — about −3.8% a year compounded over 18 years.
It earned −8.7% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 18-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 8.4%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 19.5%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 80/100.
The balance sheet carried $1.1B of total debt in FY2025. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 28/100.
Put together: Returns on Capital is the strongest of the five filters (80/100) and Business Trend the weakest (15/100), which is how EAF lands at 42/100 — a Shallow moat.

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.
157 filings were skipped because the SEC primary document returned 404; the omission is disclosed and aggregates are withheld.
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.

How GRAFTECH INTERNATIONAL LTD.’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 EAF 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 reconstructed history shown, EAF 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.
