The five investor questions

27

2019–2023 (latest 4 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $2.3M to $2.2M, decreasing; diluted EPS -2.20 to -0.77, increasing. 1 fiscal year was not jointly reported; CAGR uses the full 4-year elapsed span. Latest-filed diluted EPS remains usable for Business Trend, but an integer share-count change lacks enough evidence to confirm a comparable EPS basis; valuation growth therefore stays at 0%.

70

Median gross margin 63.8% over 7y, variable.

0

Median ROIC -156.9%, above the 12% hurdle in 0% of years.

28

Net debt/EBITDA n/ax, interest coverage -3x.

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. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

Model details under moat-index@3.0.0: zero-growth multiple 11.1×, capped-growth comparison at no more than 18×; 9% discount rate; high-end growth 0% (capped at 4%) using min(5y revenue CAGR, 5y diluted-EPS CAGR), clamped to 0%–4%; maintenance capex uses min(capex, D&A); abstain when D&A is unavailable. This is a disclosed model range, not intrinsic value as fact.

10 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

Can B Corp. booked $2.2M of revenue in FY2023 in the Industrials sector and kept 16.6% of it as gross profit — a thin-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −451.7% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $110431 (FY2015) to $2.2M (FY2023) — about 45.0% a year compounded over 8 years.

ROIC is not available for the latest filed year, FY2023. Across the full 5-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was −156.9%. Over the v3 recent window (5 measurable filed years), median ROIC was −156.9%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 0/100.

NASC's latest filed year, FY2023, 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 (70/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (0/100), which is how NASC lands at 34/100 — 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.

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.
