Book Value per Share
View All TermsBook value per share is calculated this way:
Book Value per Share = ({Total Equity} - {Preferred Stock})/ {Total Shares Outstanding}.
Theoretically it is what the shareholders will receive if the company is liquidated. Total equity is a balance sheet item and equal to total assets less total liabilities of the company.
Book value may include intangible items which may come from the companyâ„¢s past acquisitions. Book value less intangibles is called Tangible Book.
