This courtesy of Kevin Thompson. "Book value / share refers to the sum value of all of the company's hard assets totalled at a "liquidation" price divided by the number of outstanding shares. I believe this number is meant to give investors some idea of the "bottom line, least calculated" asset value a company would have if it were to go out of business or file bankruptcy, per share. The idea being to invest in a company with a high book value per share. If you pay less than book value/share for your investment, you should feel somewhat confident that your investment is much less at risk from a value standpoint, than buying shares where the book value / share is minimal. Very small book value / share numbers would tend to indicate the share price is way overpriced and inflated. Book value / share has very little to do with whether the stock goes up in price or not, especially in growth stocks, and high tech momentum plays."
