Molecular Templates Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio Calculation

Like the Shiller PE Ratio, the Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio takes the Book Value per Share from the past 10 years, adjusts it for inflation, and then calculates the average. This average is then used for the P/B calculation. Because it considers this 10-year average, it's often referred to as the CAPB Ratio.

The Shiller PE Ratio was first used by professor Robert Shiller to measure the valuation of the overall market. The similar calculation is applied by GuruFocus to calculate the Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio.

Molecular Templates's Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio for today is calculated as

Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio=Share Price/ Cyclically Adjusted Book per Share
=7.80/144.61
=0.05

* For Operating Data section: All numbers are indicated by the unit behind each term and all currency related amount are in USD.
* For other sections: All numbers are in millions except for per share data, ratio, and percentage. All currency related amount are indicated in the company's associated stock exchange currency.

Molecular Templates's Cyclically Adjusted Book per Share for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2024 is calculated as:

For example, Molecular Templates's adjusted Book Value per Share data for the three months ended in Jun. 2024 was:

Adj_Book=Book Value per Share/CPI of Jun. 2024 (Change)*Current CPI (Jun. 2024)
=1.003/314.1750*314.1750
=1.003

Current CPI (Jun. 2024) = 314.1750.
