Intrinsic / Market Ratio

0.50×

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

2.80B USD

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

Profit

2.28B USD

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

FCFF

2.10B USD

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

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: 8.91%
Cost of Equity =Risk-Free Rate 4.50%+Beta 0.87×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 9.74%

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 76.21M USDPretax Income 289.70M USD= 26.31%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 315.41M USD−Pretax Income 289.70M USD= 25.71M USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 25.71M USDTotal Debt 653.23M USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 26.31%)= 2.90%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 653.23M USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 4.74B USD + 653.23M USD= 12.10%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 87.90%×Cost of Equity 9.74%+Debt Weight 12.10%×Cost of Debt 2.90%= 8.91%

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 3.52B USD − Total Liabilities 1.66B USD = Book Value Today 1.86B USD

Total Debt 653.23M USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 219.55M USD = Net Debt Today 433.69M 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.
