2022–2026 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $4.9M to $1.5M, decreasing; diluted EPS -0.10 to -1.97, decreasing. Latest-filed diluted EPS remains usable for Business Trend, but an integer share-count change lacks enough evidence to confirm a comparable EPS basis; valuation growth therefore stays at 0%.

This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. VAI revenue fell in each of the three most recent year-over-year FY comparisons, so this estimate is flagged as unreliable for this company.
Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 227% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.
Missing a usable price or zero-growth estimate: ANF.
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. This is a disclosed model range, not intrinsic value as fact.
10 years of fundamentals
The business, in plain English
SENMIAO TECHNOLOGY LIMITED booked $1.5M of revenue in FY2026 in the Consumer Discretionary sector and kept 13.6% of it as gross profit — a thin-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −340.9% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.
Across the filed record, revenue grew from $494897 (FY2018) to $1.5M (FY2026) — about 15.3% a year compounded over 8 years.
ROIC is not available for the latest filed year, FY2026. Across the full 7-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was −224.5%. Over the v3 recent window (7 measurable filed years), median ROIC was −224.5%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 0/100.
VAI's latest filed year, FY2026, doesn't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so current leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.
Put together: Balance-Sheet Safety is the strongest of the five filters (55/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (0/100), which is how VAI lands at 24/100 — 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.

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.
This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.
