Not ranked: 11 with no positive free cash flow, 3 with not a meaningful number, 1 with a yield above 40% (usually a one-off). 2 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.
