Every defense combines several financial signals, and each signal is measured as a percentile against a peer group of 51 companies in Real Estate Services. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.
Why is IRSA Inversiones Y Representaci scored with the Corporate Default template?
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.
Which competitive defenses are measured for IRSA Inversiones Y Representaci?
The Corporate Default template measures 6 defenses, and IRS scores: Pricing Power (65), Cost Advantage (88), Customer Stickiness (58), Capital Efficiency (74), Resilience (78), Scale & Market Position (85). 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.
