The five investor questions

20

2022–2025 (latest 3 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $65.6M to $16.3M, decreasing; diluted EPS 0.00 to -0.03, decreasing. 1 fiscal year was not jointly reported; CAGR uses the full 3-year elapsed span.

49

Median gross margin 31.6% over 3y, stable.

18

Median ROIC -87.2%, above the 12% hurdle in 50% of years.

55

Net cash position — no leverage risk.

24

Owner earnings changed trend unclear 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.

This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. Flag status unavailable — four adjacent recent FY revenue observations are required.

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.

8 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

QUALITY INDUSTRIAL CORP. booked $16.3M of revenue in FY2025 in the Industrials sector and kept 29.4% of it as gross profit — a moderate-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −33.4% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

The balance sheet carried $90456 of total debt in FY2025. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 55/100.

Put together: Balance-Sheet Safety is the strongest of the five filters (55/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (18/100), which is how QIND lands at 33/100 — 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.

The explained ROIC gaps have filed inputs but no meaningful positive invested-capital denominator. Other gaps mean the item is not in the filings for that year. The series is never interpolated or estimated. The Table view lists every filed value, including operating and net margins, total debt, and share count.

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 QIND.
