Sectors

Each sector described in its ownconvention's metrics — banks by P/TBV and ROE, REITs by P/CFO and yield, software by P/S and the Rule of 40 — because comparing multiples across sectors misleads more than it informs. The medians are facts about today's prices and trailing filings; "cheapest" means lowest on the sector's convention multiple today, which describes a price, not an opportunity.

Sector	Names	Convention medians	Cheapest by convention	Most expensive	Screen
Technology P/S as the EV/Revenue stand-in (LT-debt tag coverage is too thin for an honest EV), plus the Rule-of-40 pass rate for the software names (SIC 737x) in the bucket.	340	P/S (trailing) 4.8×Rule-of-40 pass rate 42/153	IMMR 0.1×DXC 0.2× full list →	QUBT 428×BNAI 198× full list →	screen →

Banks P/TBV + ROE — the banking convention. EV metrics are undefined (debt is a bank's raw material) and P/S is meaningless over interest income.	275	P/TBV 1.6×ROE 9.9%	BANC 0.0×ONIT 0.5× full list →	NAKA 30.0×DAVE 22.4× full list →	screen →

Real estate P/CFO + dividend yield. P/CFO stands in for P/FFO (FFO is non-GAAP and not in XBRL); GAAP P/E is masked — depreciation is charged against appreciating assets.	147	P/CFO 13.9×Dividend yield 5.0%	NLOP 2.9×MITT 3.1× full list →	COMP 215×TCI 197× full list →	screen →

Energy The E&P convention is EV/EBITDAX, which is not honestly computable here (LT-debt tag coverage ~34%) — P/CFO and FCF yield are the labeled stand-ins.	74	P/CFO 6.8×FCF yield 6.9%	GTE 0.9×NBR 1.7× full list →	PSX 39.9×PBF 33.2× full list →	screen →

Brokers & exchanges P/E + ROE — brokers and exchanges have genuine fee revenue, but FCF-style metrics still assume a commercial balance sheet they don't have.	55	P/E (trailing) 24.2×ROE 16.0%	RILY 0.5×SF 9.5× full list →	OWL 219×TPG 187× full list →	screen →

Medians are taken over the names with a computed value for each metric — masked and uncomputable names are absent by construction, so a bank never dilutes a P/S median it should not be in. "Cheapest" and "most expensive" are the two lowest and highest on the sector's convention multiple, next to their values. Where the true convention metric is not honestly computable from XBRL (P/FFO, EV/EBITDAX), the stand-in is named on the row.

Sector medians and in-sector extremes are descriptive statistics of the latest scan — today's prices against trailing point-in-time filings — and are provided for information only. They are not investment advice, not a recommendation to transact, and not personalised to your circumstances. A composite ranking built from the same ingredients was tested on survivorship-free, point-in-time data (2017-01-31 to 2026-05-29) and showed no measurable predictive power (mean IC 0.0168, t = 1.21); "cheapest in sector" predicts nothing. Past performance does not predict future results.
