Intrinsic / Market Ratio

4.37×

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

163.20B USD

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

Profit

29.42B USD

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

FCFF

112.80B 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: 8.89%
Cost of Equity =Risk-Free Rate 4.50%+Beta 1.31×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 12.35%

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 1.07B USDPretax Income 4.63B USD= 23.13%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT —−Pretax Income 4,625.62M USD= —

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

No interest is read: it needs debt and an EBIT above the profit before tax, the gap between them being the interest. Without it the cost of debt takes the 4% default.

Cost of Debt 4.00% (default): with no debt or no interest read, the 4% default after tax stands for what the lenders are paid a year.

Debt Weight =Total Debt 16.45B USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 23.29B USD + 16.45B USD= 41.39%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 58.61%×Cost of Equity 12.35%+Debt Weight 41.39%×Cost of Debt 4.00%= 8.89%

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 122.05B USD − Total Liabilities 105.14B USD = Book Value Today 16.91B USD

Net debt today 0: a bank's debt is the money it lends on, not how the business is financed.

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.
