Look at the spread, not the ranking. If the bars are all the same length, the screen is arbitrary: one point of p/e ratio separates a company that made the list from one that did not, and the cut is doing more work than the data supports. A long tail means the top few are genuinely exceptional and the rest merely qualified.

The matches are spread across sectors, which means the screen is selecting on the characteristic it claims to and not accidentally on an industry.
