Selection rules
What the screen does Open a company page to see its exact inputs and every other approach it currently passes.
Higher price-to-book companies that rank cheaply on other valuation measures. The screen finds companies that look expensive against book value but cheaper against earnings, sales and cash flow. It is useful where book assets explain little of the business.
1 · Market
Start with the selected market The screen uses published weekly company records from the market shown at the top of the page.
2 · Rules
Apply the same tests to every company The named measures, thresholds and sorting order are fixed for the screen.
3 · Check
Open the supporting figures A passing result still needs company, sector, liquidity, accounting and risk research.
Limits of the comparison Scores are relative to the selected market and can change when the market or its data changes. Accounting dates differ. Historical figures may be revised. A screen can remain out of favour for long periods.
Historical results exclude spreads, commissions, market impact, taxes and capacity limits. They are research evidence, not a forecast, recommendation or personal portfolio.
