Book value, or accounting value, is based on a company’s historical financial results, looking back. You use a company’s latest balance sheet to come up with the book value of the equity, you look up the number of shares outstanding (which is usually mentioned in the earnings per share calculation in the income statement), and when you divide the two numbers you get the book value per share.

Market value, or economic value, depends on the expectations of investors for the future of the company, looking forward. Do investors see sunshine and blue skies coming up, or clouds and thunderstorms? In order to form an opinion about a company’s future, it is wise to dive into its strategy, technology, and leadership. Do these give you confidence that the company is on the right track? Next step is to try to translate that assessment to numbers: based on the strategy, technology, and leadership, what do you see as the possible revenue, income, and cash flow for the company for the next 10 to 20 years? Last step is to review probability and variability: do you think the projected revenue, income and cash flow are pretty much a “done deal”, so the risk and volatility are low, or is there a wide range of both positive and negative scenarios, so the risk and volatility are high?
