This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. JOUT revenue fell in each of the three most recent year-over-year FY comparisons, so this estimate is flagged as unreliable for this company.
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.

17 years of fundamentals
The business, in plain English
Johnson Outdoors Inc. booked $592M of revenue in FY2025 in the Consumer Discretionary sector and kept 35.1% of it as gross profit — a solid-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −5.8% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.
Across the filed record, revenue grew from $382M (FY2010) to $592M (FY2025) — about 3.0% a year compounded over 15 years.
It earned −5.3% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 16-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 12.4%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 16.3%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 70/100.
The balance sheet carried $0 of total debt in FY2025. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 55/100.
Put together: Returns on Capital is the strongest of the five filters (70/100) and Business Trend the weakest (10/100), which is how JOUT lands at 48/100 — a Shallow 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.

Flagship explainer
How Johnson Outdoors Inc. makes its money
Start with a dollar of revenue and follow what the filing says remains.
Honest partial: the filing did not provide a normalized tag for Research and development, Selling, general and administrative; those components are omitted, not plugged.
Position size uses shares and filed value from each manager’s 13F. Portfolio weight uses the eligible long-share filing denominator. Changes compare only with the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

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 Johnson Outdoors Inc.’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 JOUT 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 1 year JOUT rated Wide-moat (2021), the median forward total return that followed — measured only after each year’s filings were public — was:
1 year−28%vs the S&P 500’s −20% (price basis)· median over 1 year
3 years−63%vs the S&P 500’s 22% (price basis)· median over 1 year
5 yearsNone of the 1 year it rated Wide has a fully elapsed 5-year window with a benchmark to compare against yet.
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.
Consumer Discretionary context
#212 of 487 scored Consumer Discretionary companies, ranked by Moat Score.
Based on its FY2025 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores Johnson Outdoors Inc. (JOUT) 48.4 out of 100 — a Shallow moat.
