★ Corrected metrics: why we compute these ourselves
the receipts behind the numbers aboveGreenblatt earnings yield—EBIT ÷ EV The vendor's "earningsYield" is NI ÷ market cap, which is not Greenblatt's formula.
ROIC7%NOPAT ÷ invested capital The vendor's simple ROIC, not its tiny-base roic tag; withheld when a negative EBIT flips its sign.
Interest coverage5.2× EBIT ÷ interest expense, ranked within sector peers.

Percentiles computed nightly against 42 Communication Services peers from our ingested fundamentals DB · raw statements for corrected metrics. Direction-adjusted: for "lower is better" ratios (P/E, D/E…) the percentile is flipped so right always means better. The percentile is the stock's rank among sector peers, the number that is scored. The triangle marks where the current value sits in the company's own ten-year annual record, shown for context and never blended into the score. Computed 2026-10-02 · Not investment advice.
