If our base-case assumptions are true the market price will converge on our fair value estimate over time, generally within three years. A 5-star represents a belief that the stock is a good value at its current price a 1-star stock isn't. This process culminates in a single-point star rating that is updated daily. Four components drive the Star Rating: (1) our assessment of the firmвЂ™s economic moat, (2) our estimate of the stockвЂ™s fair value, (3) our uncertainty around that fair value estimate and (4) the current market price. Morningstar assigns star ratings based on an analystвЂ™s estimate of a stock's fair value. It is projection/opinion and not a statement of fact.

Because we are modeling free cash flow to the firm-representing cash available to provide a return to all capital providers-we discount future cash flows using the weighted average of the costs of equity, debt, and preferred stock (and any other funding sources), using expected future proportionate long-term, market-value weights. Combining analystsвЂ™ financial forecasts with the firmвЂ™s economic moat helps us assess how long returns on invested capital are likely to exceed the firmвЂ™s cost of capital.
