Working capital notePositive net working capital in this simple view

$365,000,000 of current assets minus $210,000,000 of current liabilities leaves about $155,000,000 of net working capital.
Spread across 125,000,000 shares, that comes to about $1.24 per share.
Use the result as a quick liquidity-per-share view only, because working-capital quality and share-count choices can change the picture materially.

This is a simple balance-sheet estimate, not financial advice. Working-capital quality, seasonality, and the share-count basis used can all change how you interpret the result.

How it works

What the calculator is doing

Enter current assets, current liabilities, and shares outstanding.

The calculator subtracts current liabilities from current assets to estimate net working capital.

It divides that total by shares outstanding to estimate a simple per-share view.

FAQ

Common questions

How is net working capital per share calculated here?

The calculator subtracts current liabilities from current assets, then divides the result by shares outstanding.

Why use current liabilities instead of total liabilities?

This version is focused on working capital, which is usually defined with current assets and current liabilities rather than the full liability stack.

Can the result be negative?

Yes. If current liabilities are larger than current assets, the net working capital result and the per-share view will both be negative.
