not reconstructed — market cap was removed from the historical pass (never a ranking factor, and a reconstructed share count carries look-ahead risk). The single stored value is the forward-captured snapshot, not a series.

Not a forecast: each row re-prices today's filed earnings at a multiple this company itself once traded at. It abstains rather than guess on a loss year or a broken per-share basis.
Every month uses only what was filed by then, split-adjusted. Delisted names are absent and a trough year can throw one huge reading, so read the median, not the edges.
