The five investor questions
2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $1.4B to $3.8B, increasing; diluted EPS 3.71 to -0.98, decreasing.
Median gross margin 14.6% over 10y, variable.
Median ROIC 16.7%, above the 12% hurdle in 80% of years.
Net debt/EBITDA 3.8x, interest coverage 2x.
Owner earnings changed +5.5%/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.
- $137M
- Unavailable — insufficient owner-earnings data
- Unavailable — insufficient growth-model data
- $137.14
- No price data
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.

18 years of fundamentals
The business, in plain English
JBT Marel Corporation booked $3.8B of revenue in FY2025 in the Industrials sector and kept 35.1% of it as gross profit — a solid-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −1.3% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.
Across the filed record, revenue grew from $842M (FY2009) to $3.8B (FY2025) — about 9.9% a year compounded over 16 years.
It earned 2.4% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 17-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 28.1%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 16.7%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 79/100.
The balance sheet carried $1.9B of total debt in FY2025 against $112M of owner earnings — roughly 16.8 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 3/100.
Put together: Returns on Capital is the strongest of the five filters (79/100) and Pricing Power the weakest (0/100), which is how JBTM lands at 36/100 — a None moat.
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 JBTM’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.

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.
This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.

Track record
How JBT Marel Corporation’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 JBTM 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, JBTM 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.
