The five investor questions

100

2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $14.1B to $21.3B, increasing; diluted EPS 5.87 to 12.98, increasing.

54

Median gross margin 30.5% over 5y, very stable.

85

Median ROIC 17.3%, above the 12% hurdle in 90% of years.

85

Net debt/EBITDA 0.7x, interest coverage 18x.

64

Owner earnings changed +6.6%/yr over up to the ten most recent annual observations.

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 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 4% (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.

20 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $8.8B (FY2007) to $21.3B (FY2025) — about 5.1% a year compounded over 18 years.

It earned 28.0% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 19-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 12.5%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 17.3%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 85/100.

The balance sheet carried $4.6B of total debt in FY2025 against $2.9B of owner earnings — roughly 1.6 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 85/100.

Put together: Business Trend is the strongest of the five filters (100/100) and Pricing Power the weakest (54/100), which is how TT lands at 78/100 — a Narrow 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.

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 TT.

Track record

How TRANE TECHNOLOGIES PLC’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 TT on that December 31; the line below is its total-return price path (dividends reinvested) in the years since.

0406080100WideNarrowShallowNo moatPoint-in-time Moat Score1002005001,0002,000Indexed price · log scale (2012 = 100)201120142017202020232026

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, TT 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.
