According to the GuruFocus All-In-One Screener, the following companies have grown their book value per share (BV/S) over the last decade.
BV/S is calculated as total equity minus preferred stock, divided by shares outstanding. Theoretically, it is what shareholders will receive if a company is liquidated.
