Strongest Moat
Stocks with the Strongest Economic Moats
Top stocks ranked by composite Buffett-Fit quality score - the closest single signal we have for moat strength. Combines ROIC sustainability (above 15% multi-year), gross-margin durability, and qualitative moat sources (brand, switching costs, network effects, regulatory barriers). The top of this list is where Buffett's classic 'pay up for the great ones' hunting ground sits.
