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

13.13B USD

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

Profit

10.72B USD

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

FCFF

28.59B USD

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

Intrinsic Value

Earnings power value plus growth: 13.13B 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: 10.73%
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 1.04×Market Risk Premium 6.00%= 10.74%

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 522.66M USDPretax Income 2.42B USD= 21.56%

The tax the interest saves.

Interest Expense =EBIT 1.12B USD−Pretax Income 2.42B USD= —

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

No interest is read: it needs debt and an EBIT above the profit before tax, the gap between them being the interest. Without it the cost of debt takes the 4% default.

Cost of Debt 4.00% (default): with no debt or no interest read, the 4% default after tax stands for what the lenders are paid a year.

Debt Weight =Total Debt 60.33M USDMarket Cap + Total Debt 27.40B USD + 60.33M USD= 0.22%

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

WACC =Equity Weight 99.78%×Cost of Equity 10.74%+Debt Weight 0.22%×Cost of Debt 4.00%= 10.73%

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, 2026-07-31.

Total Assets 13.60B USD − Total Liabilities 2.28B USD = Book Value Today 11.31B USD

Total Debt 60.33M USD − Cash and Short-Term Investments 7.26B USD = Net Debt Today -7.20B 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.
