Our model rates TAP Weak (29/100) on growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation. The summary below is built from its filed financials and current ratios and refreshes automatically.
Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
The numbers don't show a durable competitive advantage — margins, growth, or returns on capital have been unstable or thin. Great returns are still possible; they just aren't protected.
38.2% average over the last 3 years
±2.1 pts around 38.8% across 10 years
grew in 4 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 10 of 10 years
-11.0% latest fiscal year
A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what TAP's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. TAP trades near $42.94, around its 50-day average ($40.98) and 200-day average ($45.10). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 44 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. TAP's is $1.21 (~2.8% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month TAP found buyers near $38.04 (support) and sellers near $42.04 (resistance); its 52-week range is $38.04–$54.82. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.8× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for TAP:
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~10.6%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- Pays a 4.7% dividend on top of any price gains.
The case against TAP:
- Revenue growth is slow/negative (-1.3%), limiting the upside engine.
- Thin net margins (-18.9%) leave little room for error.
- Our model's overall read is Weak (29/100).
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (-1.3%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Margin risk — thin profitability (-18.9%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
