The economic moat refers to the competitive advantage a company has over its competitors. A narrow moat suggests that the company has a less sustainable competitive advantage compared to those with wider moats.
This ratio indicates whether the stock is trading above (greater than 1) or below (less than 1) its fair value as determined by Morningstar's quantitative analysis. A ratio of 0.94 suggests the stock is currently trading at a slight discount (undervalued).
Significant uncertainty in fair value estimates indicates substantial potential volatility in the stock price. Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance and long-term investment strategy when evaluating stocks with this level of uncertainty.
These price estimates indicate the price levels at which Morningstar would consider the stock significantly overvalued (one-star) or undervalued (five-star) based on their analysis.
