Does Copart Inc have an economic moat?

Not enough data

We cannot judge Copart Inc yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

How Copart Inc scores

As of October 18, 2026, Copart Inc scores 7.5 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of high quality. Businesses in this band tend to combine good returns with a sound balance sheet, even if one pillar lags the others. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Copart Inc’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.

Among the 270 Industrials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 93rd percentile, in the top tenth of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.6 and a company needs 6.5 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Copart Inc well above the median.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, Copart Inc scores 7.7, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 262 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 86th percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.

Solvency

Copart Inc’s solvency score is 10.0 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 7.1 among 241 Industrials companies, that is well above the group and the 99th percentile. Strong solvency points to a balance sheet that can carry its debts comfortably, with interest well covered and little pressure from creditors.

Growth

Copart Inc’s growth score is 5.4 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.4 among 216 Industrials companies, that is in line with the group and the 50th percentile. Growth near the median is neither a reason to buy nor a concern, but it does mean the quality case rests more on the other pillars.

Efficiency

Efficiency scores 5.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 264 Industrials companies is 6.2, so Copart Inc is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 39th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.

Predictability

On predictability, Copart Inc scores 8.2, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 267 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 94th percentile. Steady results like these are what make a long term view of the business easier to hold.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The gap between Copart Inc’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 10.0 against growth at 5.4, 4.6 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.

What would move the score

Copart Inc has no pillar below the median of Industrials companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 7.3 rather than 7.5. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Copart Inc has a reading on every pillar.

How this score is calculated

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.

Limitations

This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.

How current is this score?

This page last changed on October 18, 2026. The score moves with the financial statements, so the page changes when a new filing moves the reading rather than on a schedule. Live figures for CPRT are in the app.
