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

835.16M USD

what the normal year's earnings are worth for ever, plus growth that pays

Profit

612.15M USD

15 years of cash the shareholders can take out, and the equity left at year 15

FCFF

566.37M USD

15 years of cash for shareholders and lenders, less what is owed

Average Intrinsic Value

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.

Earnings power value plus growth: 835.16M USD
What the normal year's operating profit after tax is worth if it lasts for ever, plus what the new investment adds beyond its cost, less the net debt that comes before the shareholders (or plus the net cash).

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.

WACC: 6.05%
Cost of Equity =Risk-Free Rate 4.50%+Beta 0.36×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 6.64%

The yearly return the shareholders require for the risk they carry; it is the rate that brings their future cash to today.

Tax Rate for WACC =Tax Provision 13.01M USDPretax Income 59.57M USD= 21.85%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 79.43M USD−Pretax Income 59.57M USD= 19.86M USD

The interest the company paid: EBIT is the profit before tax plus the interest.

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 19.86M USDTotal Debt 310.05M USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 21.85%)= 5.01%

What the lenders are paid a year after the tax the interest saves.

Debt Weight =Total Debt 310.05M USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 552.70M USD + 310.05M USD= 35.94%

The part of the capital the lenders put in, at market value.

WACC =Equity Weight 64.06%×Cost of Equity 6.64%+Debt Weight 35.94%×Cost of Debt 5.01%= 6.05%

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.

Book value and net debt today
Both from the balance sheet of the newest quarter, 2026-03-31.

Total Assets 581.86M USD − Total Liabilities 374.96M USD = Book Value Today 206.89M USD

Total Debt 310.05M USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 34.28M USD = Net Debt Today 275.77M 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.

Quality metrics
