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.
ICL Group Ltd. (ICL) scores 51 out of 100 on the StatsAlpha Moat Map, which rates its competitive advantage as moderate. It ranks #6 of 16 scored companies in Agricultural Inputs, the top 38%.

ICL Group Ltd. ranks #6 of 16 scored companies in Agricultural Inputs by moat score. The widest moat in Agricultural Inputs is Corteva, Inc. (CTVA) at 81/100. The companies ranked closest are Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (The (SMG) at 58 just above it and FMC Corporation (FMC) at 49 just below 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 17 companies in Agricultural Inputs. 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 ICL scores: Pricing Power (51), Cost Advantage (61), Customer Stickiness (51), Capital Efficiency (48), Resilience (51), Scale & Market Position (45). 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.
