Wide-Moat Stocks

Morningstar’s ratings for economic moat capture how likely a company is to keep competitors at bay for an extended period. One of the keys to finding superior long-term investments is buying companies that will be able to stay one step ahead of their competitors. Morningstar captures this attribute with the economic moat rating, which will be either wide, narrow, or none for stocks under coverage.
