Economic Moat

Fortune Brands Innovations has a narrow economic moat

Recognized brands and patented product features make some Fortune Brands products harder to copy and give buyers reasons to choose its higher-end fixtures and other branded products. But strong rivals offer substitutes across its markets, so this protection is limited.

What protects Fortune Brands Innovations from competitors

Intangible Assets

Fortune Brands’ trademarks and patents help distinguish product features and make some harder to copy. Its House of Rohl line also appeals to luxury buyers for its design and brand prestige, helping it defend higher-end products, though competitors such as Masco, Kohler, LIXIL, JELD-WEN and Schlage offer alternatives; no single patent is material to a segment.
