Book value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the price/book value ratio the "book value" is simply the shareholders' equity from the "books", or, the balance sheet. However, in the price/book ratio, the "book" value is most often not directly any assets or tangible assets, but all balance sheet assets minus all balance sheet liabilites, the balance sheet shareholders' equity. The book value of an asset or group of assets is sometimes the price at which they were originally acquired (historic cost), in many cases equal to purchase price. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Book_value   (267 words)

How Important Is PE Ratio Companies’ PE ratio are one piece of the puzzle, and have to be taken with other factors, such as price-to-book ratio, sales projection, long term interest rate and inflation. By comparing it to the PE ratio of companies in the same industry, the PE provides a metric to judge how reasonable the share price of a company is. Companies with lofty PE must grow their earnings consistently to meet the investors’ high expectations. High PE ratios are usually associated with growth stocks, and frequently flag the question — is it worth the risk to participate in a bright future, or maybe the share price is overvalued. www.arabnews.com /?page=6§ion=0&article=49301&d=2&m=8&y=2004&pix=business.jpg&category=Business   (779 words)

PEG ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia One reason investors may prefer the PEG ratio over measures such as earnings, revenues, tangible assets, or book value to price (market cap) is that such measures do not account for a company's potential for growth. The PEG (price, earnings, growth) ratio compares the PE (price/earnings) ratio to the growth rate, which can be either historical PE ratios and growth rates or estimated future rates. PE ratio / earnings (or earnings per share) growth in parts-per-hundred (%) (year-over-year trailing or over future years)....... en.wikipedia.org /wiki/PEG_Ratio   (362 words)

Encyclopedia: PEG ratio One reason investors may prefer the PEG ratio over measures such as earnings, revenues, tangible assets, or book value to price (market cap) is that such measures do not account for a company's potential for growth. The PEG (price, earnings, growth) ratio compares the price/earnings ratio to the growth rate, which can be either historical P/E and growth rates or estimated future rates. If one would buy a portfolio of ten stocks with a PEG ratio of 0.5 and another portfolio of ten stocks with a PEG ratio of 1.5, there is not much to suggest whether the 0.5 portfolio will outperform the 1.5 portfolio over the next 1, 5, or 10 years. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/PEG-ratio   (362 words)

Value By The Book Price-to-book value (P/B) is the ratio of market price of a company's shares (share price) over its book value of equity. If a company is trading for less than its book value (or has a P/B less than 1), it normally tells investors one of two things: either the market believes the asset value is overstated, or the company is earning a very poor (even negative) return on its assets. This number is defined as the difference between the book value of assets and the book value of liabilities. www.investopedia.com /articles/fundamental/03/112603.asp   (1049 words)

Underperforming small-cap funds have strong upside potential i) In Canada, the relative price/book and price/sales ratio of the Nesbitt Burns Small Cap Index versus the TSE 300 is at the lowest level since Nesbitt Burns started recording these statistics. From a price/sales standpoint, the Russell 2000 is undervalued relative to the SandP 500, trading at a 26% discount.

Price Book Value Ratios The price-book value ratio of a stable firm is determined by the differential between the return on equity and the required rate of return on its projects.

Glossary of Terms: In Given that price expresses the ratio between a given quantity of a commodity and its equivalent in money, it is self-evident that inflation manifests the falling value of money, rather than the increasing value of all other commodities. As the price of gold shot up to about US$500, other commodities would have to reflect the same drop in the value of money, and this is exactly what happened: oil, wheat, cocoa, wool, silver, etc., etc., all experienced explosions in their value. It is frequently said that Adam Smith used the invisible hand metaphor in reference to how the market price was determined, but this is a later interpretation of the concept which does not reflect Adam Smith’s view of market price. www.marxists.org /glossary/terms/i/n.htm   (4082 words)

Daily Trendwatch - November 7, 2002 - The Efficiency Ratio for a summary I created on this book's key points), he notes that the efficiency of a trend is calculated by dividing the net movement over a certain time period (I use 20 trading days), divided by the summation of the absolute value of the day-to-day price changes over the same time period. For example, one of my best-trending put winners in recent months occurred when I bought puts on Halliburton when the stock broke under its -30 Efficiency Ratio reading on June 21 at 16.25.

Financial Management (Financial Management Association): Leverage Ratios, Industry Norms, and Stock Price Reaction: An Empirical Investigation of Stock-for-Debt Transactions - Statistical Data Included In conclusion, the leverage ratio research suggests that the market views a firm's industry average book value of debt to market value of equity ratio as a wealth maximizing norm. They suggest that a firm's industry average book value of debt to market-based equity ratio is a valid proxy for an optimal leverage ratio.

Maybank’s takeover offer too low, says MNI board The independent adviser for the MNI takeover offer, Malaysian International Merchant Bankers Bhd (MIMB), has evaluated Maybank's offer from a variety of angles such as MNI's traded market price, its price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio and dividends, and has advised shareholders to accept Maybank's offer as it was reasonable. Noting that no new composite insurance licences would likely be issued, because the industry is undergoing a consolidation, the MNI board's opinion is that the offer price does not reflect the premium for such a licence should another party attempt to acquire one. MIMB said MNI's share price was trading substantially below Maybank's offer before the bid and the price-to-earnings multiple of Maybank's offer was above the range of other companies that were comparable with MNI. biz.thestar.com.my /news/story.asp?file=/2006/1/17/business/13132619&sec=business   (641 words)

Book : John Neff on Investing John Neff lists his main ingredients in picking stocks as a low price-earnings ratio (p/e), a 7% minimum earnings growth rate, a desirable dividend yield, and a favorable "total return ratio." To limit downside risk, Neff considers fundamentally strong companies and industries, and cyclical companies with extremely attractive price-earnings ratios. In John Neff on Investing, he explains how he scoured the daily list of stocks hitting new lows, the "dusty rag and bone shop of the market," to find out-of-favor companies with low price/earnings ratios, those growing faster than seven percent a year, that paid generous dividends.

Economic Value Added, Economic Profit and Market Value - Part I The market value of a firm’s equity divided by its book value is none other than the price/book value ratio, or multiple. For example, a price/book multiple of 2.0 would indicate that the market is valuing a firm’s equity at 1x greater than the shareholders’ historical investment. In other words, %MVA is the multiple over a firm’s book value of equity that is indicated by the market value of its equity. www.bizval.com /Publications/elaw/archive/elaw0104.htm   (2541 words)

BW Online June 23, 2004 Constellation Energy: Lots of Spark We attribute Constellation's weak year-to-date performance and below-average price-earnings ratio, price-to-book, and price-to-cash-flow multiples to investor uncertainty about expanding energy-merchant operations and the company's ability to sustain EPS growth. Shares of electricity supplier Constellation Energy Group (CEG; recent price, $38.00) haven't generated much of a return for investors thus far in 2004, with the stock down 3.2% through June 18. We look for output from Constellation's nuclear facilities to increase annually through 2008, due to the June, 2004, acquisition of the 495-Mw Ginna nuclear power plant for $408 million, as well as investments to increase the capacity of Constellation's three nuclear facilities by another 276 megawatts by 2007. www.businessweek.com /investor/content/jun2004/pi20040623_3837_pi008.htm   (1335 words)
