What is Moat?

An economic moat is a competitive advantage that protects a company from competitors, like a strong brand, patents, network effects or cost advantages. Companies with wide moats (like Apple or Coca-Cola) can sustain high profits over long periods. Warren Buffett popularised the term in investing.
