Understanding Business Moats

A business moat refers to a sustainable competitive advantage that sets a business apart from its competitors. This concept is exemplified by Coca-Cola, whose long-term brand development makes it challenging for newcomers to compete. Similarly, companies like Walmart and Amazon benefit from cost advantages due to their buying power. Other forms of moats include network effects, as seen with Facebook, where the interconnectedness of users creates a significant barrier for potential rivals.
