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

75.41B USD

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

Profit

83.50B USD

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

FCFF

59.29B USD

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

Intrinsic Value

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.

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: 9.19%
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.
Cost of Equity =Risk-Free Rate 4.50%+Beta 0.89×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 9.84%

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 2.78B USDPretax Income 10.00B USD= 27.79%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 10.44B USD−Pretax Income 10.00B USD= 440.73M USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 440.73M USDTotal Debt 19.11B USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 27.79%)= 1.67%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 19.11B USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 222.58B USD + 19.11B USD= 7.91%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 92.09%×Cost of Equity 9.84%+Debt Weight 7.91%×Cost of Debt 1.67%= 9.19%

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, 2026-06-30.

Total Assets 75.87B USD − Total Liabilities 37.12B USD = Book Value Today 38.75B USD

Total Debt 19.11B USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 4.63B USD = Net Debt Today 14.48B 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.
