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

2.54B USD

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

Profit

2.31B USD

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

FCFF

2.28B USD

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

Intrinsic Value

Earnings power value plus growth: 2.54B USD

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: 7.61%
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 0.59×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 8.05%

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 59.73M USDPretax Income 239.85M USD= 24.90%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 272.55M USD−Pretax Income 239.85M USD= 32.70M USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 32.70M USDTotal Debt 447.27M USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 24.90%)= 5.49%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 447.27M USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 2.17B USD + 447.27M USD= 17.10%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 82.90%×Cost of Equity 8.05%+Debt Weight 17.10%×Cost of Debt 5.49%= 7.61%

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 2.93B USD − Total Liabilities 1.07B USD = Book Value Today 1.86B USD

Total Debt 447.27M USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 319.23M USD = Net Debt Today 128.04M 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.
