The five investor questions
2018–2026: revenue 55224000.00 to 97446000.00, increasing; diluted EPS 0.58 to 2.51, increasing. 1 fiscal year was not jointly reported; CAGR uses the full 8-year elapsed span. Diluted EPS was derived from net income and diluted weighted-average shares in 2 years where the direct tag was absent.
Median gross margin 18.7% over 3y, stable.
Not enough years of ROIC data to score returns on capital.
Net cash position — no leverage risk.
Owner earnings trend unclear, share count growing (dilution).
The returnsOnCapital component abstained: Not enough years of ROIC data to score returns on capital. The other four 20% weights were renormalized over the scored 80%.

This is a disclosed model range, not intrinsic value as fact.
17 years of fundamentals
The business, in plain English
FREEDOM HOLDING CORP. booked $97.4M of revenue in FY2026 in the Other sector and kept 18.3% of it as gross profit — a moderate-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 157.3% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.
It earned −1.3% on invested capital in FY2017, with a median of −2.3% across 3 filed years.
FRHC's filings don't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.
The share count rose 9.9% between FY2011 and FY2026 — existing owners have been diluted over the record. Capital Discipline scores it 25/100.
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.
Gaps in a line mean that item isn’t in FRHC’s filings for that year — the series is never interpolated or estimated. The Table view lists every filed value, including operating and net margins, total debt, and share count.

Track record
How FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.’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.
How to read this: each dot is what the engine would have scored FRHC 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, FRHC 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.
