The price-to-book value ratio is calculated by dividing the current share price by its book value (all fixed and current assets minus current and long-term liabilities) per share (book value divided by the total number of shares in issue).

thevulgurvblogger - for the year to 27th February 2010 on the balance sheet the net assets total is £14,681m. Apologies for the fact the video doesn't use the 2011 number - £16,623m. At some point I will update it but it was shot last year before that data was available. Also note the share price is out of date too however that doesn't alter the principles being demonstrated.
! Hope that helps. Tim.

JFJjBoy - yes a low price book is no guarantee of a bargain. However it's a useful starting point especially combined with a decent dividend yield and a low p/e ratio (see my other videos!). Cheers. Tim.

But when the price to book is below 1, could it also be a bad sign? In other words, could it mean that the company isn't prosperous at all? Thanks
