Our Solution-Focused Team
Our Experts
Wide Moat Research has specifically handpicked analysts with the valuable skillset of buying the highest quality dividend-paying stocks that are trading at a significant discount to intrinsic value. As Benjamin Graham explained (The Intelligent Investor),
“An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative.”
Each analyst at Wide Moat Research has a deep-rooted understanding of fundamental analysis, and all of them are trained to recognize the importance of a company’s financial strength. These company-specific recommendations are rooted in data, granular research, and interaction with management.
By placing an emphasis on these principles, we believe that our team of experts can deliver superior results. As Graham reminds us,
“you must thoroughly analyze a company, and the soundness of its underlying businesses, before you buy its stock; you must deliberately protect yourself against serious losses; you must aspire to “adequate,” not extraordinary, performance.”
