The five investor questions

20

2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $4.7M to $869460, decreasing; diluted EPS 0.89 to -20.39, decreasing. 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%.

94

Median gross margin 97.8% over 9y, stable.

9

Median ROIC -2.8%, above the 12% hurdle in 25% of years.

28

Net debt/EBITDA n/ax, interest coverage -202x.

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.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 238% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

14 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

NETCAPITAL INC. booked $869460 of revenue in FY2025 in the Other sector and kept 95.4% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −3255.0% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

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 NCPL.
