iii. Is this a good business?
Moat signal · return on invested capital

seeing a moat in the numbers →
Management signal · capital allocation
−99% shares · 5y

Share count is down 99% over 5 years — management has been buying back stock, quietly handing owners a bigger slice. Total debt has risen 55% over the same window.

Signals, not verdicts — read from the filings above. Numbers don’t prove a moat; they show its footprint. You decide.
