What CorVel does

Provides technology-enabled managed care and cost-containment services for workers' compensation and health claims.

Paid through fees from insurers and employers, often as a share of the savings it achieves on medical bills, a fee per claim handled or an hourly rate for nurse case managers, so workers' compensation claim volumes and medical cost trends affect it. Most business is repeat accounts. It is based in Irvine, California.

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.
