How IVR-PC scores on the Lender Specialized defenses

Funding & Return Stability

Score 49 · 22% of the moat score

A lender without deposits buys all of its funding, so its first test is whether the business still earns a decent return when that funding gets dearer.

Lending Advantage

Not measurable · 18% of the moat score

Outside banking, a lending advantage usually comes from origination: a channel or a data edge that finds good borrowers more cheaply than rivals, or a niche such as subprime auto, student loans or agency mortgages where experience in underwriting and servicing is hard to copy.

Capital Strength

Score 77 · 20% of the moat score

Without deposit insurance or a central-bank backstop, equity is what keeps a lender in business when its lenders get nervous.

Cost Discipline

Not measurable · 16% of the moat score

Origination, servicing and collections are largely fixed-cost operations, so scale and automation decide how much of the spread survives to the bottom line.

Revenue Diversification

Score 31 · 14% of the moat score

A lender that earns only on the spread of one product is exposed to that product's cycle and to the market that funds it.

Risk Management

Not measurable · 10% of the moat score

Credit losses at a non-bank lender arrive late and all at once, and with borrowed funding they can turn into a liquidity problem in weeks.

Understanding IVR-PC's moat

What is INVESCO MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC 7.'s moat score?

INVESCO MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC 7. (IVR-PC) scores 50 out of 100 on the StatsAlpha Moat Map, which rates its competitive advantage as developing. The score is a weighted composite of 6 competitive defenses, each measured against industry peers of 66 companies in REIT - Mortgage. Its strongest defense is Capital Strength (77/100) and its weakest is Revenue Diversification (31/100).

How is the moat score calculated?

Each company is scored with an industry-specific template — Lender Specialized 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 66 companies in REIT - Mortgage. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.

Why is INVESCO MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC 7. scored with the Lender Specialized template?

Card and instalment lenders, mortgage originators and mortgage REITs make money the way a bank does, by earning more on what they lend than they pay for the money they lend, but they do not take deposits. They borrow in the debt markets instead: securitisations, warehouse lines, repo and bonds, money that has to be refinanced and repriced as rates move. The Lender template scores what decides whether such a business lasts: how well its returns hold up as funding costs change, what it lends against, how much equity stands behind the book, and whether it has been pricing credit honestly.

Which competitive defenses are measured for INVESCO MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC 7.?

The Lender Specialized template measures 6 defenses, and IVR-PC scores: Funding & Return Stability (49), Lending Advantage (not measurable), Capital Strength (77), Cost Discipline (not measurable), Revenue Diversification (31), Risk Management (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.
