Not ranked: 16 with a margin moved by items that are not sales, 9 with under $50M of revenue, 3 with a quarter missing, 2 with not a meaningful number. 11 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.
