Wide moats under $2 billion.

Wide tier (score 80–100) · market cap $2B or less

Moats are usually told as a mega-cap story, but the Index applies the same 0–100 method across its full published operating-company universe — and some of the highest scores belong to names most coverage skips. Coverage includes operating companies whose annual SEC filings provide enough comparable inputs for the relevant model; missing inputs remain unscored rather than guessed. This screen keeps the full Wide bar (composite 80 or higher across Business Trend, Pricing Power, Returns on Capital, Balance-Sheet Safety, and Capital Allocation) and adds one constraint: a market cap of $2 billion or less.

Small companies earn no handicap here — the score is computed from the same filings, the same way. But a shorter filing history and a narrower business mean a single product cycle can move these numbers more than it would move a giant’s, so the sub-scores behind each composite are worth more of your attention than the headline. Each row links to the full breakdown.

10 Wide-moat companies have no market-cap figure in our data, so they can’t be placed on either side of this screen’s size cutoff and aren’t listed.

A screen is a starting point for reading, not a recommendation. Scores reflect business quality as read from primary SEC filings; the disclosed owner-earnings range is model-dependent, not intrinsic value as fact or a price target. Sector labels are derived from SEC SIC codes and can differ from GICS classifications. Educational only — not investment advice. See the methodology and disclaimer.
