Compute the price-to-book ratio from share price and book value per share.
P/B = 股价 ÷ BVPS。
| Item | Formula / Rule | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Price-to-book | P/B = market price per share / book value per share, book value being net assets attributable to common equity | IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, par. 54 |
| Link to ROE | P/B = P/E × ROE, so at a given P/E a higher ROE implies a higher P/B | Fama & French 1992, Journal of Finance 47(2) |
| Applicability | Since assets are carried at historical cost, P/B is less informative for asset-light or intangible-heavy firms | Fama & French 1992, Journal of Finance 47(2) |
