Frequently asked
About this list
- What does 'ROIC > WACC for 5 years' surface?
- Companies that have generated positive economic profit (return on invested capital above their weighted-average cost of capital) every year across the most recent five-year window covered by the analyst report. It is the operational signature of a real, durable competitive moat rather than a temporary spread.
- How is the moat verdict built?
- The analyst report runs a five-year ROIC vs. WACC trajectory check, classifies each moat source as none / weak / medium / strong, and computes economic profit as (ROIC minus WACC) times average invested capital. This screen matches reports where the moat header score is 7 or higher and at least one moat source is rated strong, or where the economic-profit narrative explicitly cites a multi-year ROIC-over-WACC track record.
- Does ROIC > WACC mean the stock is a buy?
- No. Durable returns on capital make a business interesting; whether the stock is a buy depends on price, downside risk, and capital-cycle context — checked separately in the platform's six-factor decision overlay.
