Total shares institutions bought (green) vs sold (red) each quarter across all holders.
Inferred from quarter-over-quarter change in each fund's 13F position (new stakes count as buys, exits as sells). Not tick-level trades.
Ranked against 14 sector peers with collected financials. Valuation from latest close × latest fiscal-year fundamentals; 13F conviction as of 2026-09-30.
Percentile is “goodness” within the peer set (100 = best). For valuation and leverage that means cheaper / less-levered ranks higher.

What the company returns to shareholders — and whether it's covered by cash.
The dividend is comfortably covered — only 40% of free cash flow, leaving room to grow it and fund buybacks. Last year: $241.6M dividends + $0 buybacks = $241.6M returned on $608.7M FCF.

DuPont — the three levers
ROE 23% against ROIC 21% — 1% of the return on equity comes from leverage and buybacks rather than from the operating business.
Equity is the year-end figure. On average equity over the two year-ends, ROE is 24.4% — the two diverge when buybacks or issuance move equity during the year.

The metrics that matter, over time
A 30-second read on RLI: price, valuation and headline fundamentals from SEC filings. The four questions at the top of the page are where the judgements live.
No positive operating income in the last three years, so there is no return on capital to compare against its cost.
| Fiscal year | Gross margin | Operating margin | Net margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2016 | not reported | not reported | 14.1% |
| FY2017 | not reported | not reported | 13.2% |
| FY2018 | not reported | not reported | 7.8% |
| FY2019 | not reported | not reported | 19.1% |
| FY2020 | not reported | not reported | 16.0% |
| FY2021 | not reported | not reported | 23.7% |
| FY2022 | not reported | not reported | 34.4% |
| FY2023 | not reported | not reported | 20.1% |
| FY2024 | not reported | not reported | 19.5% |
| FY2025 | not reported | not reported | 21.4% |
Return on equity (23%) and return on invested capital (21%) are within a couple of points in FY2025, so the headline return is the operating return — there is no meaningful leverage effect to strip out.
No material counter-signal in the checked set: ROIC vs WACC spread, 5-year spread history, gross margin trend, operating margin trend, net margin against 3 years ago, revenue growth, ROIC ex-goodwill gap.
Missing from our data, so excluded from this answer: positive EBIT.
Converts 1.28x of reported profit into free cash flow over 5 years, with accruals negative.
Capex has been below depreciation for 4 consecutive years (0.77x on average over the last 5). Spending less than the asset base is consuming flatters free cash flow now and defers the cost — though depreciation also covers amortisation of acquired intangibles, which capex is not meant to replace.

At $64.62, free cash flow must compound -0.45%/yr for 10 years. It has done 14.51%/yr over 6 years.
| Fiscal year | FCF growth | Price requires |

The percentile ranks the FISCAL-YEAR point, because the distribution behind each strip is built from fiscal-year closes — ranking a TTM figure inside it would compare two different bases. TTM basis: TTM.
The cost of capital could not be computed for this company, so the requirement is solved at the published 10% default — a different rate would move it materially.

Below the line, the asset base is being consumed faster than it is replaced.
Below the line for 4 consecutive years to the latest.
Depreciation here includes amortisation of acquired intangibles — goodwill written down over time, customer lists, acquired technology. Capex does not replace those and is not meant to, so an acquisitive or asset-light company sits below 1.0 permanently and correctly. The signal is cleanest for capital-intensive businesses, where the two measure the same physical base. For that reason this informs the earnings-quality verdict but never caps it.

Every row is classified by what it MEANT, not by its SEC code. A code is not a meaning: code P (“purchase”) also covers dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plans, and code S (“sale”) also covers 10b5-1 plan sales scheduled months earlier and option exercises sold the same day.
Across 30 days of all filings, $5.08bn of insider selling contained $3.50bn of plan sales and $0.46bn of exercise-and-sell. Only 29% was discretionary. Reading an unclassified feed badly overstates how much insiders decided.
Buys and sales are counted separately and never netted. They are different decisions by different people; a company where one officer bought while another sold is not “neutral”.
The holding line carries each insider's last reported position forward, so it shows the total held rather than a sawtooth of whoever traded that day. It covers only insiders who filed in the window.
“Filed late” counts calendar days past the two-business-day deadline with five days' grace, so a Thursday or Friday trade crossing a weekend is never flagged. It describes the company's filing discipline, not the trade.
Insider activity is descriptive. Nothing here is investment advice.
