Not ranked: 7 with no PE (losses over the last year), 6 with under ten years of history. 7 companies whose data behind this number has a caveat are left out until it is checked.

A ranking of numbers, not a recommendation. A low multiple can be a bargain or a business in trouble: open the company to see which.
