Summary

Welcome to the Investing for Beginners podcast, episode 362. Today, Dave and Andrew explore the concept of competitive advantage period (CAP), a valuation tool associated with Michael Mauboussin. They'll discuss how CAP helps explain why certain businesses maintain higher valuations over longer periods and its implications for investors. [00:00:32] Introducing competitive advantage period (CAP), a valuation concept associated with Michael Mauboussin's writings. [01:08] CAP explained: Period where outstanding businesses maintain excess returns due to competitive advantages. [02:38] CAP helps explain why certain companies have higher valuations for longer periods. [04:09] Traditional 10-year DCF models may be too short for companies with strong moats. [06:32] Scale economy shared: A self-reinforcing moat that strengthens as a company grows. [09:40] Companies like Visa and Mastercard strengthen moats by working with potential competitors. [15:24] Market may value companies differently based on expected duration of competitive advantage. [17:42] CAP valuation must be logical; unreasonable growth projections can lead to absurd results.
