Pricing power is the ability to raise prices without losing volume.
A cost advantage means delivering the same product for structurally less — better purchasing, denser distribution, a more automated process.
Stickiness is what makes revenue repeat without being re-won every year.
Capital efficiency asks what the company earns on the money tied up in the business.
Resilience is the capacity to get through a bad year on its own terms — enough liquidity, enough interest cover, and enough cash generation to avoid a rescue financing or a forced sale.
Scale matters only when it converts into economics.
Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (BECN) scores 0 out of 100 on the StatsAlpha Moat Map, which rates its competitive advantage as weak. It ranks #21 of 21 scored companies in Industrial Distribution, the top 100%. The score is a weighted composite of 6 competitive defenses, each measured against industry peers of 20 companies in Industrial Distribution.
Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. ranks #21 of 21 scored companies in Industrial Distribution by moat score. The widest moat in Industrial Distribution is Fastenal Company (FAST) at 91/100. The companies ranked closest are Titan Machinery Inc. (TITN) at 15 just above it.
Each company is scored with an industry-specific template — Corporate Default in this case, chosen because the defenses that matter to a bank are not the ones that matter to a software company. Every defense combines several financial signals, and each signal is measured as a percentile against a peer group of 20 companies in Industrial Distribution. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.
Most public companies sell a product or a service at a margin, so the moat question is whether that margin survives contact with competitors. The Corporate template scores the six defenses that show up in a general operating company's financial signature: whether it can hold price, produce more cheaply than rivals, keep its customers, earn a return above its cost of capital, withstand a downturn, and turn size into economics.
The Corporate Default template measures 6 defenses, and BECN scores: Pricing Power (not measurable), Cost Advantage (not measurable), Customer Stickiness (not measurable), Capital Efficiency (not measurable), Resilience (not measurable), Scale & Market Position (not measurable). Each is scored independently as a percentile against peers, so a company can be strong on one and weak on another — the overall score reflects how those defenses are weighted for this industry.
