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

7.13B USD

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

Profit

11.75B USD

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

FCFF

9.21B 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: 7.13B 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).

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: 9.14%
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 0.92×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 10.03%

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 409.41M USDPretax Income 1.59B USD= 25.69%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 1.82B USD−Pretax Income 1.59B USD= 225.22M USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 225.22M USDTotal Debt 6.58B USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 25.69%)= 2.54%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 6.58B USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 48.67B USD + 6.58B USD= 11.91%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 88.09%×Cost of Equity 10.03%+Debt Weight 11.91%×Cost of Debt 2.54%= 9.14%

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 23.15B USD − Total Liabilities 11.90B USD = Book Value Today 11.26B USD

Total Debt 6.58B USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 670.67M USD = Net Debt Today 5.91B 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.
