How much the market pays relative to the company's accounting net worth (assets minus liabilities). P/B < 1 means the market values the company below what the books say it owns.
Formula
Price / Book Value Per ShareHow to read this chart
Most useful for asset-heavy businesses: banks, insurers, REITs. A P/B near its historical low suggests the market is paying unusually little for the net assets.
Key caveats
- Goodwill and intangibles from acquisitions can inflate book value significantly — some analysts prefer tangible book value.
- Low P/B in technology or software companies is usually irrelevant: their value is in IP and people, not balance sheet assets.
