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

20.92B USD

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

Profit

8.87B USD

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

FCFF

8.87B USD

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

Intrinsic Value

12.89B USD

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: 20.92B 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).

Value vs market

Margin of Safety-633.0%

1 minus the market cap as a share of the value.

Profit value: today's value of the shareholders' equity, from the cash it can pay them (FCFE): 8.87B 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.

The projection was not made (a profit at or below zero in the latest three years), so the value is the book value today, 8.87B USD, as the screener leaves it.

Fifteen years of free cash flow to the firm (FCFF), each brought to today at the WACC, plus the invested capital at year 15 brought to today, less the net debt today (or plus the net cash).

The projection was not made (a change in working capital above half the operating profit in the latest three years), so the value is the book value today, 8.87B USD, as the screener leaves it.

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: 17.57%
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 2.18×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 17.59%

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 481.48M USDPretax Income 9.91B USD= 4.86%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 10.08B USD−Pretax Income 9.91B USD= 165.16M USD

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

Cost of Debt =Interest Expense 165.16M USDTotal Debt 1.05B USD×(1 − Tax Rate for WACC 4.86%)= 14.92%

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

Debt Weight =Total Debt 1.05B USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 153.34B USD + 1.05B USD= 0.68%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 99.32%×Cost of Equity 17.59%+Debt Weight 0.68%×Cost of Debt 14.92%= 17.57%

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 13.87B USD − Total Liabilities 5.00B USD = Book Value Today 8.87B USD

Total Debt 1.05B USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 1.58B USD = Net Debt Today -527.53M 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.
