Morningstar Fair Value Estimate

Our Fair Value Estimate helps you understand the worth of a stock over time. It uses a per-share-price estimate and is based on our thorough analysis of a company’s current operations, business risks and opportunities, and outlook to determine if something is overvalued or undervalued.

Morningstar Rating for stocks

The Morningstar Rating for stocks—also called the star rating—is your signal for when a stock is trading at a discount or when it may be time to sell. It considers a stock’s current price, Morningstar’s estimate of its fair value, and the uncertainty rating of that fair value. The bigger the discount, the higher the star rating.

Morningstar Economic Moat Rating

Our moat rating represents a company's ability to fend off competition and earn high returns. We look at a company’s network effect, intangible assets, cost advantage, switching costs, and efficient scale when determining the size of its moat, which can be wide, narrow, or none.
