Does Vornado Realty Trust have an economic moat?

Not enough data

We cannot judge Vornado Realty Trust 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 Vornado Realty Trust scores

The Quality Score for VNO stands at 4.4 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which puts Vornado Realty Trust in the mixed quality band. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. It rolls Vornado Realty Trust’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.

Ranked with the 84 Real Estate companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 33rd percentile, in the lower half of the group, above the bottom quarter. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.2 and a company needs 5.9 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Vornado Realty Trust below the median.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, Vornado Realty Trust scores 0.9, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.8 across 80 Real Estate companies, which places it well below them, at the 9th percentile. Low margins and returns leave little cushion, so a downturn or a cost increase reaches the bottom line quickly.

Solvency

Solvency has no score for Vornado Realty Trust. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median solvency score across 34 Real Estate companies is 3.7. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.

Growth

Vornado Realty Trust’s growth score is 6.5 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.2 among 74 Real Estate companies, that is above the group and the 70th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.

Efficiency

On efficiency, Vornado Realty Trust scores 6.1, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.4 across 80 Real Estate companies, which places it in line with them, at the 43rd percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.

Predictability

Vornado Realty Trust’s predictability score is 5.5 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.9 among 83 Real Estate companies, that is above the group and the 66th percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The gap between Vornado Realty Trust’s best and worst pillar is wide: growth at 6.5 against profitability at 0.9, 5.6 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with growth is attractive as long as the expansion is earning a decent return. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.

What would move the score

Closing the gap on profitability would do the most for the overall. At the median of Real Estate companies, 4.8, Vornado Realty Trust would score about 5.6 instead of 4.4. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).

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.
