What AtriCure does

Maker of devices for surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation and left atrial appendage exclusion, and pain management.

Sells disposable devices to hospitals, used once per procedure, so revenue grows with the number of heart surgeries that use them. AtriClip, an implant that closes off a part of the heart where clots form, is the main line. Most sales are in the US.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. 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). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
