Great Managers Behind Wide Moats (July 2026)
Well-run companies behind strong defenses.
Management quality is the score investors trust least because it is the hardest to measure. Put great managers behind wide moats anyway and the top of the list is emphatic: Broadcom at 88, NVIDIA at 87, Applovin at 86. The median across the 38 members is 78.
Scale dominates without monopolizing. Alongside $2.0T Broadcom sit ATOSS Software at $2.1B and Medistim at $399M, scoring 81 and 80. A management score summarizes the capital-allocation and execution record, not charisma, which is why small operators can match giants on it.
