What St. Joe does

Owns and develops a large land bank in Florida's Panhandle, building residential, resort and commercial properties.

Earns lumpy income from selling homesites and land to builders and developers, alongside steadier rent and hospitality income from hotels, clubs and commercial buildings it owns. The land came from its past as a paper-company landholder, so each parcel carries a low book cost. Fairholme Capital, the fund firm led by Bruce Berkowitz, has long been its largest shareholder.

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.
