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

2.51B USD

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

Profit

4.61B USD

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

FCFF

1.78B USD

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

Earnings power value plus growth: 2.51B 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: 7.03%
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 1.03×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 10.68%

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 67.61M USDPretax Income 263.68M USD= 25.64%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 328.14M USD−Pretax Income 263.68M USD= 64.46M USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 64.46M USDTotal Debt 1.52B USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 25.64%)= 3.16%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 1.52B USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 1.60B USD + 1.52B USD= 48.60%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 51.40%×Cost of Equity 10.68%+Debt Weight 48.60%×Cost of Debt 3.16%= 7.03%

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 2.89B USD − Total Liabilities 2.01B USD = Book Value Today 872.35M USD

Total Debt 1.52B USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 173.27M USD = Net Debt Today 1.34B 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.
