What Yutong Bus does

China's largest bus maker, producing city buses, coaches and increasingly electric buses for domestic and export markets.

Sells buses to city transit authorities, usually through public tenders, and to coach operators, with electric buses the growth line. Overseas sales go through local dealers. Orders are lumpy because transit fleets are bought in batches tied to government funding.

In one line: China's Blue Bird/New Flyer for buses.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
