Economic Moat

Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).

No moat evidenceMoat evidence score: 35/100

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.

Dividend Safety

Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.

At RiskSafety score: 5/100

The case for NWL:

  • As an established S&P 500 member in Consumer Staples, it brings scale and a long operating history.
