The price-to-book ratio, or P/B ratio, (also PBR) is a financial ratio used to compare a company's current market value to its book value (where book value is the value of all assets minus liabilities owned by a company). The calculation can be performed in two ways, but the result should be the same.
Scheme of the oxide structure and the Pilling–Bedworth ratio. On the basis of measurements, the following connection can be shown: R PB < 1: the oxide coating layer is too thin, likely broken and provides no protective effect (for example magnesium) R PB > 2: the oxide coating chips off and provides no protective effect (example iron)
Tobin's q [a] (or the q ratio, and Kaldor's v), is the ratio between a physical asset's market value and its replacement value. It was first introduced by Nicholas Kaldor in 1966 in his paper: Marginal Productivity and the Macro-Economic Theories of Distribution: Comment on Samuelson and Modigliani .
When it comes to valuation metrics, though P/E and P/S are the first choices, the P/B ratio is also emerging as a convenient tool for identifying low-priced stocks that have high-growth prospects.
In this diagram the 204 Pb/ 206 Pb ratio (the reciprocal of the normal ratio) is plotted on the x-axis, so that a point on the y axis (zero 204 Pb/ 206 Pb) would have infinitely radiogenic Pb. The ratio plotted on this axis is the 207 Pb/ 206 Pb ratio, corresponding to the slope of a normal Pb/Pb isochron, which yields the age. The most ...
The Benjamin Graham formula is a formula for the valuation of growth stocks.. It was proposed by investor and professor of Columbia University, Benjamin Graham - often referred to as the "father of value investing".
To calculate r pb, assume that the dichotomous variable Y has the two values 0 and 1. If we divide the data set into two groups, group 1 which received the value "1" on Y and group 2 which received the value "0" on Y, then the point-biserial correlation coefficient is calculated as follows:
The return on equity (ROE) is a measure of the profitability of a business in relation to its equity; [1] where: . ROE = Net Income / Average Shareholders' Equity [1] Thus, ROE is equal to a fiscal year's net income (after preferred stock dividends, before common stock dividends), divided by total equity (excluding preferred shares), expressed as a percentage.
