Not ranked: 82 with not a meaningful number, 19 with no profit to compare, 4 with a quarter missing, 4 with growth above 300% (a base too small to compare). 21 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.
