The five investor questions

Revenue & EPS trend70

2022–2023: revenue 359147.00 to 529439.00, increasing; diluted EPS -0.02 to 0.00, increasing. Two-year history is scoreable but carries less confidence than a full-cycle record.

Pricing power0

Median gross margin 3.5% over 4y, variable.

Returns on capital

Not enough years of ROIC data to score returns on capital.

Balance-sheet safety55

Net cash position — no leverage risk.

Capital discipline24

Owner earnings trend unclear, share count growing (dilution).

The returnsOnCapital component abstained: Not enough years of ROIC data to score returns on capital. The other four 20% weights were renormalized over the scored 80%.

Conservative range under moat-index@2.0.0: low end 11.1×, high end capped at 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.

18 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

VNUE, Inc. booked $529439 of revenue in FY2023 in the Communications sector and kept 34.5% of it as gross profit — a moderate-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −214.7% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $37825 (FY2017) to $529439 (FY2023) — about 55.2% a year compounded over 6 years.

RDCT's filings don't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.

The share count rose 4561.8% between FY2011 and FY2023 — existing owners have been diluted over the record. Capital Discipline scores it 24/100.

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.

Gaps in a line mean that item isn’t in RDCT’s 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.

Track record

How VNUE, Inc.’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.

How to read this: each dot is what the engine would have scored RDCT on that December 31; the line below is its total-return price path (dividends reinvested) in the years since.

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 indexed price path isn't available for this company yet; 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 reconstructed history shown, RDCT did not rate Wide-moat in any year, so there is no wide-moat track record to report. That absence is itself the honest answer — we don’t manufacture a comparison where the rating never earned one.
