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

196.85M USD

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

Profit

214.74M USD

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

FCFF

220.07M USD

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

Intrinsic Value

Earnings power value plus growth: 196.85M 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): 214.74M 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.

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: 7.00%
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 0.51×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 7.53%

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 5.05M USDPretax Income 17.15M USD= 29.43%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 24.64M USD−Pretax Income 17.15M USD= 7.49M USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 7.49M USDTotal Debt 106.07M USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 29.43%)= 4.99%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 106.07M USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 398.95M USD + 106.07M USD= 21.00%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 79.00%×Cost of Equity 7.53%+Debt Weight 21.00%×Cost of Debt 4.99%= 7.00%

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 500.25M USD − Total Liabilities 202.84M USD = Book Value Today 297.40M USD

Total Debt 106.07M USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 24.38M USD = Net Debt Today 81.69M 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.

Quality metrics
