How Each Value Is Built
The screener's three formulas on the reported figures. Each card reads the same way: the value as a sum of numbered terms, each term's calculation opened under it, from the reported figures to the value. The list ranks companies by their plain average over the market cap.
What it is worth
EPV + Growth
646.37M USD
what the normal year's earnings are worth for ever, plus growth that pays
Profit
547.52M USD
15 years of cash the shareholders can take out, and the equity left at year 15
FCFF
457.23M USD
15 years of cash for shareholders and lenders, less what is owed
Average Intrinsic Value
550.37M USD
The plain average of EPV, Profit and FCFF

Projections, not exact values. Intrinsic Values are projected from each company's past reports. They show which stocks look cheap compared with the others, not exactly what a stock is worth.

The Rates and the Capital the Values Read
The WACC and the cost of equity each value is discounted at, the book value and the net debt each starts from, and the seven quality metrics, from the same run.
The yearly return the shareholders require for the risk they carry; it is the rate that brings their future cash to today.
The tax the interest saves.
The interest the company paid: EBIT is the profit before tax plus the interest.
What the lenders are paid a year after the tax the interest saves.
The part of the capital the lenders put in, at market value.
Weighted average cost of capital: the yearly return the shareholders and the lenders together require, weighted by what each puts in; the rate that brings the firm's future cash to today.
Total Assets 773.61M USD − Total Liabilities 431.72M USD = Book Value Today 341.90M USD
Total Debt 43.12M USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 218.11M USD = Net Debt Today -174.99M USD
The book value is what Profit starts from and what stands when a projection is not made; the book value plus the net debt is what FCFF starts from; the net debt comes off Greenwald's and FCFF's values before the shareholders.
