How each method works
P / B: $0.52 to $1.74 (midpoint $0.86)
Values the stock at a peer multiple of its book (net asset) value — most meaningful for asset-heavy and financial companies whose balance sheet drives value.
- How it’s calculated
- We take book value per share (total assets minus total liabilities, from the latest balance sheet, divided by shares outstanding) and multiply it by the range of price-to-book multiples the peer group trades at.
- Why it fits this industry
- Where the balance sheet is the business — lenders, insurers, asset-heavy operators — the price the market pays for a dollar of net assets is a natural yardstick.
- Reading this bar
- The bar is the per-share value range this method implies: a conservative low, a central estimate, and an optimistic high. If the current price sits below the bar, the market is pricing the shares below what this method's inputs suggest; if it sits above, the market is pricing them higher. No single bar is a verdict — methods disagree for good reasons, so read the whole field together. Asset-light companies (brands, software) legitimately trade far above book value, so for them a P/B bar well below the price is usually structure, not signal.
P / B = (0.60/0.99/2.01)× book_value_per_share 0.87 ≈ 0.52/0.86/1.74 (per_share)
7 methods not shown
- EV / EBITDA: EBITDA is non-positive — an EBITDA multiple yields no meaningful enterprise value (loss-making at the EBITDA line)
- EV / Revenue: the market prices this company far outside its sector's EV / Revenue range (its own multiple is -4.95 vs a sector band of 5.18–9.61) — a sector-average bar would be misleading here, so it is withheld
- EV / Gross Profit: gross profit is non-positive — EV/Gross-Profit does not apply
- P / E: diluted EPS is non-positive — P/E is not meaningful for a loss-making period
- DCF (FCFF): base unlevered FCF is non-positive (-87,371,770.11) — nothing to discount; a standard FCFF DCF does not apply
- EV / EBITDA — mid-cycle: mid-cycle (5-year average) EBITDA is non-positive — the multiple is not meaningful across a cycle of losses
- P / E — mid-cycle: mid-cycle (5-year average) earnings are non-positive — P/E is not meaningful for a company that has lost money across the cycle
Pre-profit company — earnings-based methods not meaningful.
