HORACE MANN EDUCATORS CORP /DE/ is a insurer, scored by a separate financial-sector model — not the operating Moat Score you’ll see on other companies. A bank or insurer is a balance-sheet business the margin-and-ROIC lens doesn’t fit, so it’s read through the components below instead. The two models are calibrated differently and are not comparable: a financial-sector score is never ranked against, sorted with, or averaged into an operating Moat Score. How the models work.

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 HMN.

Not scored for this company

Canonical split-adjusted share history is incomplete; no book-value trend claim is made.
Net interest economics apply to banks and lenders; not part of the carrier model.

Scored 4 of 5 applicable components (underwriting carrier model); weights renormalized over the scored set.

Fundamentals

The 15-year revenue, margin, and ROIC series is built for the operating model’s lens and isn’t published for banks and insurers — a balance-sheet business is read through the components above, not through operating-company margins.

Append-only — readings are added, never rewritten. Only readings on the same methodology version (moat-index-financials@1.0.0) are comparable; a change across versions is a scoring change, not a company event.

Scored from primary SEC filings via the public financial-sector methodology. Educational only — not a recommendation to buy or sell HMN. See the disclaimer.
