Economic Moat

Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (9 years of history).

No moat evidenceMoat evidence score: 43/100

The numbers don't show a durable competitive advantage — margins, growth, or returns on capital have been unstable or thin. Great returns are still possible; they just aren't protected.
