Zoetis · pharma

wonderful · 90 ▟ wide moat
Value$101.30

Arch Capital Group · insurance

wonderful · 81 ▟ narrow moat
Value$123.58
Price$94.33
MoS +31.0%

good · 73 ▟ narrow moat
Value$506.97
Price$424.10
MoS +19.5%

PEP HOLD

PepsiCo · beverage

wonderful · 82 ▟ wide moat
Value$131.10
Price$123.73

good · 72 ▟ narrow moat
Value$412.47
Price$402.43

Highly profitable payments toll road with a narrow moat; the price already assumes most of the growth.

wonderful · 80 ▟ narrow moat
Value$110.42
Price$113.42
MoS -2.6%

Coach is a strong brand at a fair price, but fashion is fickle; roughly 6% growth doesn't beat the 7% implied.
