Consumer staples

The companies that sell what people buy regardless of the economy. Dull, and dull is the entire point.

Look at the spread, not the ranking. If the bars are all the same length, the screen is arbitrary: one point of moat score separates a company that made the list from one that did not, and the cut is doing more work than the data supports. A long tail means the top few are genuinely exceptional and the rest merely qualified.

What this screen is really buying

More than half of these companies are in one sector (Consumer). That is worth knowing: this screen has quietly become a sector bet, and if that sector re-rates, every name on the list moves together. Diversification comes from low correlation, not from the length of a list.
