75

2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $535M to $860M, increasing; diluted EPS -2.65 to 0.36, increasing.

100

Median gross margin 70.4% over 10y, very stable.

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

28

Net debt/EBITDA n/ax, interest coverage 1x.

24

Owner earnings changed trend unclear over up to the ten most recent annual observations.

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%.

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 RPD.
