Is S&P Global the Best Wide-Moat Financial Stock to Buy Right Now?
You would have a hard time finding a stock in the sector with multiple moats like SPGI.
Overview
Warren Buffett, former CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, popularized the term "moat" to describe a company with secure competitive advantages, as if it were protected by a moat around the proverbial castle.
Many of his stock picks over the years had this competitive moat. But one moat-protected stock that Buffett never owned is Standard & Poor's Global (NYSE: SPGI), and I'm not sure why -- it may be the best wide-moat stock in the financial sector.
Details
Buffett does own S&P Global's major competitor, Moody's, and has for a long time, but I think SPGI is an even better stock, with multiple moats.
