The five investor questions

2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $4.6B to $5.5B, increasing; diluted EPS 1.79 to 1.51, decreasing.

0

Median gross margin 9.2% over 10y, variable.

61

Net cash position — no leverage risk.

5

Owner earnings changed -6.5%/yr 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. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 238% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

18 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

Tutor Perini Corporation booked $5.5B of revenue in FY2025 in the Industrials sector and kept 11.7% of it as gross profit — a thin-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 1.5% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $5.0B (FY2016) to $5.5B (FY2025) — about 1.2% a year compounded over 9 years.

It earned 18.2% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 17-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 6.1%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 5.9%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 7/100.

The balance sheet carried $407M of total debt in FY2025 against $80.4M of owner earnings — roughly 5.1 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 61/100.

Put together: Balance-Sheet Safety is the strongest of the five filters (61/100) and Pricing Power the weakest (0/100), which is how TPC lands at 25/100 — 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 TPC.
