Morningstar Advisor - Summer 2007 - 72

By the Numbers: Stocks Undervalued Stocks with Wide Moats Undervalued stocks with significant competitive advantages can make attractive long-term holdings. With that in mind, we scoured our 2,000-plus stock coverage universe for high-quality stocks (those boasting wide economic moats) that are trading on the cheap (rated 4 or 5 stars by our analysts). There were 69 stocks that fit that profile as of June 30, 2007. Our analysts award wide economic moats to companies they believe possess durable competitive advantages that are likely to confer economic profits well into the future. Barriers to entry, switching costs, scale advantages, and patent protection are examples of such advantages. In addition, our analysts estimate the fair value of each stock based on in-depth fundamental analysis. When a stock trades at a suitably wide discount to our fair-value estimate, we award it 4 or 5 stars. The wider the discount, the higher the star rating, and vice versa.
