SAP, headquartered in Germany, is the world's largest provider of enterprise application software. Morningstar [1] highlights that SAP has carved out a wide economic moat due to high switching costs associated with its products. The company is expected to experience low- to midteens revenue growth in the near and midterm, fading to high-single-digit growth in the long term. AI adoption is forecasted to accelerate in 2025, driven by innovation. Morningstar estimates that SAP's ADRs are worth $311 each.

TSM has long benefited from semiconductor firms transitioning from integrated device manufacturers to fabless designers. The company projects a top-line compound annual growth rate of 15.7% over the next five years. Morningstar estimates that TSM's ADRs are worth $306.
Sony (SONY)
Sony has carved out a wide economic moat overall, focusing on solid and stable growth in its consumer electronics and entertainment businesses. Over the past decade, Sony has transformed its business model by reducing the volatility of its consumer electronics business and aggressively investing in content for its entertainment businesses, such as music, movies, and games.
