Competitiveness and MOAT

Their marginal value is a forecast of future growth, and it is considered by Buffett and Munger the most important single indicator.

Growth
Growth can be dangerous when forecasting, simply projecting the current growth is in general wrong. A company passes through multiple phases, from being young and unprofitable, to the first periods of profitability and high growth, until it arrives at a period of regime with limited growth. Identifying in which phase the company is in may help forecasting.
