Price to tangible book ratio1.50x

Market capitalization used$4,200,000,000

Tangible book value used$2,800,000,000

Valuation viewMarket value is above tangible book in this simple view

$4,200,000,000 divided by $2,800,000,000 gives a price-to-tangible-book ratio near 1.50x.
At this level, the market value is about 1.50 times the tangible book value entered.
Use the result as a quick balance-sheet valuation check only, because tangible book adjustments, off-balance-sheet items, and share-count timing can change the picture.

This is a simple valuation metric, not investment advice. Tangible book definitions and balance-sheet adjustments can vary between analyses.

This ratio often makes more sense when reviewed beside tangible book, book value per share, and other valuation measures.

FAQ

Common questions

How is price to tangible book calculated here?

Why use tangible book instead of total book value?

Some users prefer a balance-sheet view that removes goodwill and other intangible assets before comparing market value with book value.

What if tangible book value is zero or negative?

This calculator expects a positive tangible book value for a simple ratio estimate. Zero or negative values can make the ratio less useful or misleading.
