4 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

Fly-E Group, Inc. booked $25.4M of revenue in FY2025 in the Consumer Discretionary sector and kept 41.1% of it as gross profit — a solid-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −20.8% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

It earned −39.6% on invested capital in FY2025, with a median of 32.2% across 3 filed years. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 88/100.

The balance sheet carried $100835 of total debt in FY2025. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 55/100.

Put together: Returns on Capital is the strongest of the five filters (88/100) and Capital Discipline the weakest (24/100), which is how FLYE lands at 56/100 — a Shallow 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.

Track record

How Fly-E Group, 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.

As-of 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 FLYE on that December 31; the line below is its total-return price path (dividends reinvested) in the years since.

0406080100WideNarrowShallowNo moatAs-of Moat Score102050100Indexed price · log scale (2025 = 100)202420252026

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 1 year FLYE rated Wide-moat (2024), the median forward total return that followed — measured only after each year’s filings were public — was:

  • 1 year −89% vs the S&P 500’s 17% (price basis) · median over 1 year
  • 3 years None of the 1 year it rated Wide has a fully elapsed 3-year window with a benchmark to compare against yet.
  • 5 years None of the 1 year it rated Wide has a fully elapsed 5-year window with a benchmark to compare against yet.

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.
