The five investor questions

54

2022–2026 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $206M to $183M, decreasing; diluted EPS 0.24 to 0.40, increasing.

100

Median gross margin 82.1% over 10y, very stable.

100

Median ROIC 53.3%, above the 12% hurdle in 100% of years.

100

Net cash position — no leverage risk.

92

Owner earnings changed +9.7%/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.

35% above value if growth stopped today

What today’s price assumes: owner earnings growing ~6%/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. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 240% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

17 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

LIFEVANTAGE CORP booked $183M of revenue in FY2026 in the Healthcare sector and kept 77.6% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 2.8% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $38.9M (FY2011) to $183M (FY2026) — about 10.9% a year compounded over 15 years.

It earned 27.3% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2026. Across the full 15-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 76.9%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 53.3%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 100/100.

LFVN's latest filed year, FY2026, doesn't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so current leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.

Put together: Pricing Power is the strongest of the five filters (100/100) and Business Trend the weakest (54/100), which is how LFVN lands at 89/100 — a Wide 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.

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 LFVN.

Track record

How LIFEVANTAGE CORP’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 LFVN on that December 31; the line below is its total-return price path (dividends reinvested) in the years since.

0406080100WideNarrowShallowNo moatPoint-in-time Moat Score50100200Indexed price · log scale (2012 = 100)201120142017202020232026

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 2 years LFVN rated Wide-moat (2021 and 2025), the median forward total return that followed — measured only after each year’s filings were public — was:

  • 1 year −42% vs the S&P 500’s −20% (price basis) · median over 1 year
  • 3 years 198% vs the S&P 500’s 22% (price basis) · median over 1 year
  • 5 years None of the 2 years 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.

Common questions about LFVN

Does LIFEVANTAGE CORP have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2026 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores LIFEVANTAGE CORP (LFVN) 89.2 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 54, pricing power 100, returns on capital 100, balance-sheet safety 100, capital allocation 92.
Is LFVN trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $4.31 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $5.80, that is 35% 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.
How has LFVN's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 27 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 89.2 out of 100 (wide moat). No tier changes on record yet. (Methodology or normalizer upgrades on Jul 20, 2026, Jul 23, 2026, Jul 26, 2026 re-based the score; readings across versions aren't compared.) The history is append-only — readings are only ever added, never rewritten.
