Cash per share calculator

Estimate cash per share from total cash and cash equivalents divided by shares outstanding.

Result

$6.80

Estimated cash per share based on total cash and cash equivalents divided by shares outstanding.

Cash per share$6.80

Total cash used$850,000,000

Shares outstanding used125,000,000

Cash for 100 shares$680.00

$850,000,000 of cash spread across 125,000,000 shares produces about $6.80 of cash per share.
Cash per share is usually most useful when the same cash definition and same share basis are used across comparisons.
Use the result as a simple balance-sheet snapshot only, because debt, operations, and restricted cash are not captured by this one ratio alone.

This is a simple per-share cash estimate, not investment advice. The result depends on the cash definition used and the share-count basis entered.

Why can cash per share change over time?
