Sustainable Competitive Advantage

When asked what is the most important thing he looks for when evaluating a company to invest in, without hesitation, Warren Buffett replied, " sustainable competitive advantage".

 

Choosing Stocks to Buy

Yes, business valuation matters, but it is the future growth and prosperity of the company underlying a stock, not its current price, that is most important.

A company's prosperity, in turn, is driven by how powerful and enduring its competitive advantages and competitive strategies are.

Warren Buffett said it best in his Fortune article: "The key to investing is not assessing how much an industry is going to affect society, or how much it will grow, but rather determining the competitive advantage of any given company and, above all, the durability of that advantage. The products or services that have wide, sustainable moats around them are the ones that deliver rewards to investors."
