The five investor questions
2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $257.6B to $402.8B, increasing; diluted EPS 5.61 to 10.81, increasing.
Median gross margin 56.8% over 10y, very stable.
Median ROIC 20.6%, above the 12% hurdle in 90% of years.
Net debt/EBITDA 0.1x, interest coverage 175x.
Owner earnings changed +14.8%/yr 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.
- $76.0B
- $69.89
- $113.22
- $344.91
- 394% above value if growth stopped today
What today’s price assumes: owner earnings growing ~38%/yr over 5 years. The zero-growth estimate assumes owner earnings stay flat (0% growth).
How to read this
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. Flag status unavailable — four adjacent recent FY revenue observations are required.
Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 255% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

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.

Scores are logged append-only and never overwritten — this record cannot be reconstructed retroactively, which is exactly why it’s worth keeping.
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.
The insider-filing service is temporarily unavailable, so no partial or guessed answer is shown for GOOG.

Common questions about GOOG
- Does Alphabet Inc. have an economic moat?
- Based on its FY2025 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) 96.8 out of 100 — a Wide 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 95, pricing power 94, returns on capital 97, balance-sheet safety 98, capital allocation 100.
- Is GOOG trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
- The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $69.89 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $344.91, that is 394% above 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.
