9.4.1.5.5 Market Value vs. Book Value of an Equity Security

For publicly traded stocks, the market value of the stock is the share price at which it is currently trading. The market value of the company is its market capitalization. As we have seen:

market capitalization = (market share price) × (number of shares outstanding)

market value of the stock = market capitalization ÷ number of shares outstanding

The book value of a stock is the shareholders’ equity for common stock divided by the number of shares of common stock. This is called the stated book value of the stock. Stated book value is the theoretical amount of money left over for common stockholders if the company is forced to liquidate.

book value of a company = shareholders’ equity

book value of a stock = shareholders’ equity ÷ number of shares outstanding

Book value represents the current value of the company according to its own books and ignores future growth potential. Market value represents the market’s opinion as to the company’s near-term prospects. Most c

Thanks to Solomon I was able to pass the SIE, Series 7, and Series 63, great study material if you put the hours in!

Jeremy, I passed the Series 7 yesterday with an 87% using only your book and online practice tests. Thanks!

Solomon exam prep materials are the best! I have passed the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 in less than 12 months using their materials. Their products are fantastic! The practice exams are excellent, and the probability calculator is spot on. I followed the provided customized study plan and took practice exams (over 20 lol) until my probability calculator was in the green (indicating a higher probability of passing) and the rest is history. There are no shortcuts. You must put in the work and stay disciplined, but the Solomon program WORKS and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone looking for amazing, comprehensive study materials to prepare for industry examinations.

Solomon is the BEST!!! Passed the Series 7 on the first try. The lessons are videos and lessons are good. The practice exams are EXCELLENT. Focus on options and muni's. Load up on practice exams and you will be fine. Thank you Solomon!!!

I found encouragement along the way from reading other people's testimonials, so payback is to write one of my own. Solomon is the gold standard for customer service. I passed the 66, SIE first tries -- received a 69% on the 7 (failed), but passed on the 2nd attempt. I'm in awe over the outreach I received from day 1 but especially from Jeremy on how to move forward after falling short on the Series 7 - followed his advice - one of which was to get the accompanying videos and passed. Watching/studying the Chapter 5 video had a big impact. I also printed the questions I got wrong that I particularly struggled with while taking the online exams, printed and/or turned them into flashcards, then taped many of them around the house. It forced me to constantly revisit the information and moved me past a superficial understanding. I'll take a messy-looking home for a short time than having to retake a 3 hour and 45 minute exam.

I have taken and passed the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 using this amazing Solomon study program. Each time, I felt prepared for the exam and confident in my answers. Solomon's study structure and varying mediums of study make it interactive and easy to learn.. It's an amazing deal for the tools received. I would highly recommend this program!
