Price divided by basis gives the multiple. Every row can be recomputed; if a row does not add up, this page is not built at all.

Within the sector

free to read

Rank 4 of 4 in the industry. No median: only 4 companies in this industry have a grade; it is shown from five upwards. The grades are absolute and are not normalised to the sector: in a weak industry a weak grade stays weak.

10/20

The neighbours follow from the ranking alone, not from a judgement. More total points does not mean a company is the better investment, only that more quality rules are met. It says nothing about the price.
