Not ranked: 27 with not a meaningful number, 3 with no profit to compare, 2 with a quarter missing, 2 with growth above 300% (a base too small to compare). 9 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.
