Book Value Per Share

Work out the net asset value behind each share from shareholders' equity and shares outstanding.

How Book Value Per Share Works

The Formula

BVPS = (Equity − Preferred) ÷ Shares Outstanding

It strips preferred equity (which ranks ahead of common shareholders) from total equity, then spreads what remains across the common shares.

Where It Works Best

BVPS and price-to-book are most meaningful for banks, insurers, and asset-heavy industrials, where the balance sheet closely tracks economic value. For asset-light businesses, lean on cash flow and a DCF instead, or on Graham's intrinsic value formula, which weighs earnings growth rather than net assets.
