Moat

  • Proprietary Technology
  • Switching Costs
  • Brand
  • Patents/IP
  • Distribution
  • Ecosystem Lock-in

Emerson Electric’s moat appears to come from proprietary automation technology, a large installed base with recurring consumables/service revenue, and strong distribution/customer relationships. Its long-standing brand, patents/IP, and ecosystem of integrated control/software solutions also help create switching costs and lock-in.
