The Best Wide-Moat Small Caps (July 2026) Wide moat small caps.
Share
Sixteen companies. That is how rare wide-moat small caps turn out to be. Vitec Software leads at a moat score of 78 with an $882M cap, followed by tonies, DoubleVerify and Pure Cycle at 73, and the median moat here is 72.
Moats at this size are usually niche dominance rather than platform power : CTT Systems at $170M and Frequentis at $1.1B carry scores of 72 while growing revenue in the low teens or slower. A defended niche can compound quietly for a long time, and quietly is the operative word; these caps say almost nobody is watching . Click any name for the full citation-backed analysis.
