The five investor questions

50

2024–2026 (latest 3 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $2.5B to $3.1B, increasing; diluted EPS -0.44 to -1.30, decreasing.

94

Median gross margin 56.3% over 3y, very stable.

0

Median ROIC -3.5%, above the 12% hurdle in 0% of years.

55

Net cash position — no leverage risk.

44

Owner earnings changed trend unclear over up to the ten most recent annual observations, share count n/a.

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.

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 239% above the zero-growth estimate across 48 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

4 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

MiniMed Group, Inc. booked $3.1B of revenue in FY2026 in the Healthcare sector and kept 54.2% of it as gross profit — a solid-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −10.7% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

It earned −4.5% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2026. Across the full 3-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was −3.5%. Over the v3 recent window (3 measurable filed years), median ROIC was −3.5%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 0/100.

MMED'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 (94/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (0/100), which is how MMED lands at 49/100 — 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.

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 MMED.
