Intrinsic / Market Ratio

0.26×

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

-1.06B USD

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

Profit

1.62B USD

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

FCFF

1.62B USD

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

Intrinsic Value

the plain average of the three, uncapped, as the screener averages them

Each card below builds one of the three values from the reported years.

Earnings power value plus growth: -1.06B 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).

Value vs market

Margin of Safety—

1 minus the market cap as a share of the value.

Profit value: today's value of the shareholders' equity, from the cash it can pay them (FCFE): 1.62B 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.

The projection was not made (a profit at or below zero in the latest three years), so the value is the book value today, 1.62B USD, as the screener leaves it.

FCFF value: today's value of the shareholders' equity, from the cash the firm can pay its shareholders and lenders (FCFF): 1.62B 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 (a change in working capital above half the operating profit in the latest three years), so the value is the book value today, 1.62B 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: 6.67%
Cost of Equity =Risk-Free Rate 4.50%+Beta 0.97×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 10.34%

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 18.02M USDPretax Income 102.10M USD= 17.65%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 221.22M USD−Pretax Income 102.10M USD= 119.12M USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 119.12M USDTotal Debt 3.04B USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 17.65%)= 3.23%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 3.04B USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 2.85B USD + 3.04B USD= 51.56%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 48.44%×Cost of Equity 10.34%+Debt Weight 51.56%×Cost of Debt 3.23%= 6.67%

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, 2026-07-31.

Total Assets 7.12B USD − Total Liabilities 5.49B USD = Book Value Today 1.62B USD

Total Debt 3.04B USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 37.04M USD = Net Debt Today 3.00B 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
Read beside the value, never a condition for it: every company is valued, and a filter in the list is the reader's choice.
