  • ROIC Below WACC or Peers ROIC at 0th percentile suggests inefficient capital deployment.

The dashed ring is the peer median. Defense scores are percentile ranks against peers, so 50 is roughly the typical company in this group.

How SELX scores on the Corporate Default defenses

Pricing Power

Score 10 · 20% of the moat score

Pricing power is the ability to raise prices without losing volume.

Cost Advantage

Score 8 · 15% of the moat score

A cost advantage means delivering the same product for structurally less — better purchasing, denser distribution, a more automated process.

Customer Stickiness

Score 20 · 15% of the moat score

Stickiness is what makes revenue repeat without being re-won every year.

Capital Efficiency

Score 12 · 18% of the moat score

Capital efficiency asks what the company earns on the money tied up in the business.

Resilience

Score 21 · 17% of the moat score

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 & Market Position

Score 5 · 15% of the moat score

Scale matters only when it converts into economics.

Understanding SELX's moat

What is Semilux International Ltd.'s moat score?

Semilux International Ltd. (SELX) scores 13 out of 100 on the StatsAlpha Moat Map, which rates its competitive advantage as weak. It ranks #50 of 52 scored companies in Electronic Components, the top 96%. The score is a weighted composite of 6 competitive defenses, each measured against industry peers of 51 companies in Electronic Components. Its strongest defense is Resilience (21/100) and its weakest is Scale & Market Position (5/100).

How does Semilux International Ltd. compare with other Electronic Components companies?

Semilux International Ltd. ranks #50 of 52 scored companies in Electronic Components by moat score. The widest moat in Electronic Components is Universal Display Corporation (OLED) at 82/100. The companies ranked closest are KULR Technology Group, Inc. (KULR) at 14 just above it and EMCORE Corporation (EMKR) at 0 just below it.

How is the moat score calculated?

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 51 companies in Electronic Components. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.

Why is Semilux International Ltd. 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 Semilux International Ltd.?

The Corporate Default template measures 6 defenses, and SELX scores: Pricing Power (10), Cost Advantage (8), Customer Stickiness (20), Capital Efficiency (12), Resilience (21), Scale & Market Position (5). 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.
