The five investor questions

15

2022–2026 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $16.3B to $9.6B, decreasing; diluted EPS 20.59 to 3.38, decreasing.

23

Median gross margin 14.2% over 10y, stable.

—

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

55

Net debt/EBITDA 0.8x, interest coverage 6x.

24

Owner earnings changed -8.0%/yr 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%.

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.

20% below value if growth stopped today

20% 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 ~4%/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. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 255% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

19 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC. booked $9.6B of revenue in FY2026 in the Consumer Discretionary sector and kept 12.6% of it as gross profit — a thin-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 1.8% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $1.5B (FY2009) to $9.6B (FY2026) — about 11.4% a year compounded over 17 years.

The balance sheet carried $929M of total debt in FY2026 against $178M of owner earnings — roughly 5.2 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 55/100.

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.

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 THO.

Track record

How THOR INDUSTRIES, 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.

Point-in-time scores 2011–2025, one methodology version · reconstructed from filings on file each Dec 31 — never with hindsight

Point-in-time Moat Score (dot colored by tier)Indexed price (total-return (dividends reinvested))Rated Wide-moat that year

How to read this: each dot is what the engine would have scored THO 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 price path is a total-return (dividends reinvested) index built from the same data the forward returns use; 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, THO 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.

Common questions about THO

Does THOR INDUSTRIES, INC. have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2026 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores THOR INDUSTRIES, INC. (THO) 29.0 out of 100 — below the Shallow-moat bar, so no 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 15, pricing power 23, returns on capital not measurable from the filings, balance-sheet safety 55, capital allocation 24.
Is THO trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $87.86 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $70.10, that is 20% 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 THO's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 37 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 29.0 out of 100 (no 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.
