The five investor questions

85

2019–2023 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $2.4M to $4.2M, increasing; diluted EPS 0.01 to 0.03, increasing. Diluted EPS was derived from net income and diluted weighted-average shares in 4 years where the direct tag was absent.

92

Median gross margin 85.7% over 7y, stable.

Not enough years of ROIC data to score returns on capital.

100

Net cash position — no leverage risk.

24

Owner earnings changed trend unclear over up to the ten most recent annual observations.

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%.

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.

Above value if growth stopped todayBelow value if growth stopped today
8% below value if growth stopped today
$672236
$0.38
$0.62
$0.35
8% 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 ~2%/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. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

Model details under moat-index@3.0.0: zero-growth multiple 11.1×, capped-growth comparison at no more than 18×; 9% discount rate; high-end growth 4% (capped at 4%) using min(5y revenue CAGR, 5y diluted-EPS CAGR), clamped to 0%–4%; maintenance capex uses min(capex, D&A); abstain when D&A is unavailable. This is a disclosed model range, not intrinsic value as fact.

15 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

FULLNET COMMUNICATIONS INC booked $4.2M of revenue in FY2023 in the Communications sector and kept 74.9% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 12.7% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $1.7M (FY2010) to $4.2M (FY2023) — about 7.2% a year compounded over 13 years.

FULO's latest filed year, FY2023, doesn't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so current leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.

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.

The explained ROIC gaps have filed inputs but no meaningful positive invested-capital denominator. Other gaps mean the item is not in the 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.

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 Aug 11, 2026.

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

Trailing-12-month totals and the 90-day cluster result are withheld because this issuer walk is incomplete.

No reported Form 4 rows were captured for FULO; the incomplete walk cannot establish zero activity, zero counts, or a negative cluster result.

Common questions about FULO

Does FULLNET COMMUNICATIONS INC have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2023 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores FULLNET COMMUNICATIONS INC (FULO) 75.3 out of 100 — a Narrow 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 85, pricing power 92, returns on capital not measurable from the filings, balance-sheet safety 100, capital allocation 24.
Is FULO trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $0.38 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $0.35, that is 8% 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 FULO's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 15 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 75.3 out of 100 (narrow 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.
