Intrinsic / Market Ratio

0.60×

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.

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.

EPV + Growth

26.31B USD

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

Profit

58.39B USD

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

FCFF

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

Earnings power value plus growth: 26.31B 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).

Profit value: today's value of the shareholders' equity, from the cash it can pay them (FCFE): 58.39B USD
Fifteen years of free cash flow to equity (FCFE), each brought to today at the cost of equity, plus the equity at year 15 brought to today.

FCFE: the net income left for the shareholders once the business keeps what next year's growth needsEquity reinvestment: the part of the year's net income kept in the business to grow the next year; below zero, capital the business releases to the shareholdersPresent value of the FCFEColoured bars show the FCFE, grey bars the equity reinvestment. With a positive equity reinvestment the two stacked are the year's normalized income; with a negative one the grey is below zero, capital the business releases, and the normalized income is the FCFE plus that negative amount. Shaded, years 6 to 10: the growth falling to its long-run rate and the ROE on new investment falling to the cost of equity. Axes linear.

FCFF value: today's value of the shareholders' equity, from the cash the firm can pay its shareholders and lenders (FCFF): 51.86B USD
Fifteen years of free cash flow to the firm (FCFF), each brought to today at the WACC, plus the invested capital at year 15 brought to today, less the net debt today (or plus the net cash).

The projection was not made (an FCFF at or below zero in the latest three years), so the value is the book value today, 51.86B USD, as the screener leaves it.

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: 5.66%
Cost of Equity =Risk-Free Rate 4.50%+Beta 0.59×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 8.03%

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 1.24B USDPretax Income 5.51B USD= 22.45%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 7.69B USD−Pretax Income 5.51B USD= 2.17B USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 2.17B USDTotal Debt 61.65B USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 22.45%)= 2.73%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 61.65B USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 76.11B USD + 61.65B USD= 44.75%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 55.25%×Cost of Equity 8.03%+Debt Weight 44.75%×Cost of Debt 2.73%= 5.66%

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 142.78B USD − Total Liabilities 90.92B USD = Book Value Today 51.86B USD

Total Debt 61.65B USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 3.73B USD = Net Debt Today 57.92B 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.
