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

24.11B USD

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

Profit

25.01B USD

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

FCFF

18.02B USD

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

Intrinsic Value

Earnings power value plus growth: 24.11B 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).

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: 11.66%
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 1.33×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 12.50%

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 668.67M USDPretax Income 3.13B USD= 21.34%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 3.41B USD−Pretax Income 3.13B USD= 281.28M USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 281.28M USDTotal Debt 7.53B USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 21.34%)= 2.94%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 7.53B USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 77.55B USD + 7.53B USD= 8.85%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 91.15%×Cost of Equity 12.50%+Debt Weight 8.85%×Cost of Debt 2.94%= 11.66%

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 14.69B USD − Total Liabilities 11.52B USD = Book Value Today 3.17B 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.

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.
