Stockholder Equity

    0.03 sec.
Stockholder equity
Balance sheet item that includes the book value of ownership in the corporation. It includes capital stock, paid-in surplus, and retained earnings.

Stockholder Equity
In stocks and businesses, an expression of the underlying value of a company. That is, it is a statement of the value of the company's assets minus the value of its liabilities. One way of thinking about the stockholder equity is that it is the underlying value of a company, not the value dictated by the supply and demand of shares or its market capitalization. It is also called the net asset value or book value.
