China Yangtze Power Co., Ltd. stands majestically as a titan in the global renewable energy landscape, commanding reverence and respect for both its size and innovative prowess. Rooted in the vibrant economic tapestry of China, this company dedicates itself to harnessing the boundless energy of water. It operates the largest hydropower project in the world, the Three Gorges Dam, a monumental feat of engineering that effectively tames the mighty Yangtze River. This venture into clean energy underlines the company’s commitment to creating sustainable, reliable electricity, which it accomplishes through high-capacity turbines that convert the river's kinetic energy into electric power. As it generates electricity, China Yangtze Power ensures a steady and substantial cash flow by selling this power across the expansive Chinese grid and beyond, effectively powering millions of homes and industries with an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels. China Yangtze Power's operational model is anchored in its robust infrastructure, astute management, and strategic foresight. By capitalizing on its extensive network of hydropower stations, the company generates significant revenue through electricity sales while consistently investing in upgrading technology and expanding its capacity. Its portfolio isn't limited to the Three Gorges; it includes several other hydropower plants, like Gezhouba, Xiluodu, and Xiangjiaba. This diversification not only amplifies its energy output but also insulates it against regional fluctuations and operational risks. Moreover, its strategic investments in international markets underscore its ambition to transcend borders and cement its status as a global energy player. By championing the cause of renewable energy, China Yangtze Power is not just capturing the power of water but also capturing a significant share of the future energy market's promise.

What is Intrinsic Value?

Economic Moat is a concept popularized by Warren Buffett to describe a company's durable competitive advantage. It represents the 'moat' that protects a company from competitors and helps it sustain profitability over the long term. Our analysis of the past 10 years showed that companies with a wide economic moat significantly outperformed the market, delivering +645% returns compared to +189% for the S&P 500.

Our research into Economic Moat performance spans the past 10 years and focuses on companies with a wide economic moat. For this analysis, we calculated the average stock price returns of these companies, comparing them to the performance of the S&P 500 index over the same period.

The results were compelling: wide moat stocks achieved a remarkable +645% average return, compared to +188% for the broader market. This difference highlights the long-term benefits of investing in businesses that can maintain their market position and pricing power over time.

Note: This research does not account for survivorship bias. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Determining whether a company has an economic moat requires both a deep dive into financial metrics and a qualitative assessment of its competitive position. Our analysts conduct a rigorous evaluation that focuses on identifying structural advantages that enable a company to sustain profitability and defend its market share over the long term.

The process begins with an analysis of a company’s historical financial performance. We assess how consistently the company has generated returns above its cost of capital and whether those returns have been stable or improving. However, financial performance alone doesn’t reveal the full picture. To understand the sources of these advantages, we evaluate five key drivers of economic moats:

Network Effect: We analyze whether the value of a company’s product or service grows as its user base expands. Platforms like payment systems or marketplaces benefit from this self-reinforcing.

Switching Costs: We assess whether customers face significant costs or disruptions when switching to a competitor’s product or service. High switching costs create customer stickiness and provide pricing power.

Intangible Assets: Strong brands, patents, and regulatory licenses can protect a company’s market position by creating barriers for competitors or enabling premium pricing. For example, a well-recognized consumer brand may command higher customer loyalty and margins.

Efficient scale: Occurs when a market is optimally served by one or a few players, making it unprofitable for new entrants to compete. This typically happens in industries with high fixed costs or geographic constraints, such as utilities or pipelines.

Cost Advantage: Companies with structural cost advantages can produce goods or services at a lower cost than their competitors, enabling them to offer competitive pricing or maintain higher margins. These advantages often arise from economies of scale, superior supply chain management, or proprietary technology. Firms like Walmart leverage their massive scale to negotiate better terms with suppliers, allowing them to undercut competitors on price.

By examining these factors in combination with a company’s financial performance and market positioning, we classify each company into one of three categories:

This rigorous evaluation ensures that our moat ratings are both comprehensive and reliable, giving investors the tools they need to make well-informed, long-term decisions.
