The five investor questions

20

2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $1.4M to $255023, decreasing; diluted EPS -79.20 to -7.07, increasing.

0

Median gross margin 12.5% over 10y, variable.

0

Median ROIC -52.1%, above the 12% hurdle in 0% of years.

55

Net cash position — no leverage risk.

24

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. 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.

14 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

FOCUS UNIVERSAL INC. booked $255023 of revenue in FY2025 in the Industrials sector and kept −13.8% of it as gross profit — a thin-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −1877.4% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $15900 (FY2014) to $255023 (FY2025) — about 28.7% a year compounded over 11 years.

ROIC is not available for the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 6-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was −52.1%. Over the v3 recent window (6 measurable filed years), median ROIC was −52.1%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 0/100.

FCUV's latest filed year, FY2025, doesn't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so current leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.

Put together: Balance-Sheet Safety is the strongest of the five filters (55/100) and Pricing Power the weakest (0/100), which is how FCUV lands at 20/100 — 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.

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.

Track record

How FOCUS UNIVERSAL 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 2014–2025, 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 FCUV on that December 31; the line below is its total-return price path (dividends reinvested) in the years since.

0406080100WideNarrowShallowNo moatPoint-in-time Moat Score20501002005001,0002,000Indexed price · log scale (2015 = 100)2014201620182020202220242026

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, FCUV 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.

Does FOCUS UNIVERSAL INC. have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2025 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores FOCUS UNIVERSAL INC. (FCUV) 19.8 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 20, pricing power 0, returns on capital 0, balance-sheet safety 55, capital allocation 24.
How has FCUV's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 15 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 19.8 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.)
