Understanding Book Value Per Share (BPS)
BPS represents the net asset value attributable to each share of common stock if a company were liquidated. It is calculated as:
- Formula: BPS = (Total Assets - Total Liabilities) / Number of Outstanding Shares
- Total Equity: Total Assets minus Total Liabilities, also known as shareholders' equity.
- Purpose: Used to assess a company's financial health and intrinsic value per share.
Components of BPS
The calculation of BPS relies on key financial statement components:
Total Assets
The sum of all resources owned by a company.
- Includes cash, receivables, inventory, property, and investments.
- Reported on the balance sheet.
Total Liabilities
The sum of all obligations owed by a company.
- Includes loans, accounts payable, and other debts.
- Reported on the balance sheet.
Outstanding Shares
The total number of shares issued and held by shareholders.
- Excludes treasury shares (repurchased by the company).
- Found in financial reports or stock exchange filings.
Factors Affecting BPS
Several factors influence the Book Value Per Share:
Changes in Assets
Increases or decreases in asset values affect equity.
- Asset growth (e.g., profits reinvested) increases BPS.
- Asset write-downs decrease BPS.
Changes in Liabilities
Changes in debt levels impact equity.
- Increased borrowing reduces BPS.
- Debt repayment increases BPS.
Share Issuance or Repurchase
Changes in the number of shares affect the per-share value.
- Issuing new shares dilutes BPS.
- Share buybacks increase BPS.
Typical BPS Ranges
BPS varies by industry and company size (based on general financial trends):
Technology Companies
- Often lower BPS due to high intangible assets (e.g., $5-$20).
Manufacturing Companies
- Higher BPS due to physical assets (e.g., $20-$100).
Financial Institutions
- Moderate to high BPS depending on leverage (e.g., $10-$50).
