The five investor questions
2022–2025 (latest 4 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $8.1B to $8.3B, increasing; diluted EPS 7.78 to 8.88, increasing.
Median gross margin 56.4% over 4y, very stable.
Median ROIC 11.7%, above the 12% hurdle in 25% of years.
Net debt/EBITDA 1.6x, no material interest expense disclosed.
Owner earnings changed -0.1%/yr 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.
- $1.6B
- $105.13
- $105.13
- $78.01
- 26% below value if growth stopped today
A discount this large is often a warning rather than a bargain — the market may expect earnings to keep falling. See the revenue trend above.
How to read this
What today’s price assumes: owner earnings shrinking ~6%/yr over 5 years. The estimate assumes owner earnings stay flat (0% growth).
We solve for the constant annual change in owner earnings that would make the five-year zero-growth estimate equal today’s price. This keeps the existing model inputs and calculation unchanged; it is an expectations lens, not a forecast.
This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. Flag status unavailable — four adjacent recent FY revenue observations are required.
Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 239% above the zero-growth estimate across 48 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

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.

Scores are logged append-only and never overwritten — this record cannot be reconstructed retroactively, which is exactly why it’s worth keeping.
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 SOLV.

Common questions about SOLV
- Does SOLVENTUM CORPORATION have an economic moat?
- Based on its FY2025 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores SOLVENTUM CORPORATION (SOLV) 62.3 out of 100 — a Narrow moat. The five questions behind that score begin at 20% each; if exactly one genuinely lacks data, the other four weights are renormalized and disclosed. revenue and EPS trend 64, pricing power 94, returns on capital 38, balance-sheet safety 79, capital allocation 37.
- Is SOLV trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
- The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $105.13 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $78.01, that is 26% below value if growth stopped today. The model also publishes a capped-growth comparison, but the zero-growth estimate is the cautious baseline. It assumes trailing owner earnings persist and is unreliable for declining businesses. This is an educational estimate from primary SEC filings, not intrinsic value as a fact or investment advice.
- How has SOLV's Moat Score changed over time?
- The record logs 12 readings since Jul 18, 2026; the latest reads 62.3 out of 100 (narrow moat). No tier changes on record yet. (Methodology or normalizer upgrades on Jul 20, 2026, Jul 23, 2026, Jul 26, 2026 re-based the score; readings across versions aren't compared.) The history is append-only — readings are only ever added, never rewritten.
