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.
Missing a usable price or zero-growth estimate: ANF, BKNG.

18 years of fundamentals
The business, in plain English
G III APPAREL GROUP LTD /DE/ booked $3.0B of revenue in FY2026 in the Consumer Discretionary sector and kept 39.4% of it as gross profit — a solid-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 2.3% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.
Across the filed record, revenue grew from $801M (FY2010) to $3.0B (FY2026) — about 8.5% a year compounded over 16 years.
It earned 5.2% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2026. Across the full 17-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 14.6%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 10.7%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 42/100.
The balance sheet carried $4.6M of total debt in FY2026 against $67.4M of owner earnings — roughly 0.1 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 100/100.
Put together: Balance-Sheet Safety is the strongest of the five filters (100/100) and Business Trend the weakest (38/100), which is how GIII lands at 61/100 — a Narrow 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.

Track record
How G III APPAREL GROUP LTD /DE/’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 GIII 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 3 years GIII rated Wide-moat (2012, 2014 and 2016), the median forward total return that followed — measured only after each year’s filings were public — was:
1 year27%vs the S&P 500’s 19% (price basis)· median over 3 years
3 years12%vs the S&P 500’s 38% (price basis)· median over 3 years
5 years−6%vs the S&P 500’s 84% (price basis)· median over 3 years
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.
