Price-to-Book

Price-to-book (P/B) ratio compares a stock's market price to its book value per share. P/B = price ÷ book value per share. P/B under 1 can mean the stock trades below liquidation value, though some firms have intangible value.

Example

A $20 stock with $25 book value per share has P/B of 0.8.
