Moat

27 /100

Weak moat

How hard Driven Brands's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 6 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median -0.1% of total assets over 6 years.

  • Durability 9 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 11.4%; its worst year was 5.4%.

  • Cash conversion 5 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 3 of 6 years, at a median 0.2% of revenue.

  • Discipline 11 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 17.5% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 1.0% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (32 before it).

A rules-based reading of reported figures, not a forecast and not investment advice. How the score is built: methodology.
