Value stocks appear cheaper than the market, and their appreciation will outpace that of other companies. These are sought after by investors who see them as undervalued compared to what they’re worth in a few years time, anticipating growth above comparable companies or overall stock value increase.
The book value per share formula is used to calculate the per share value of a company based on its equity available to common shareholders. The term “book value” is a company’s assets minus its liabilities and is sometimes referred to as stockholder’s equity, owner’s equity, shareholder’s equity, or simply equity.
