market to book

    0.01 sec.
market to book
A ratio comparing the market price of a firm's common stock with the stock's book value per share. Essentially, the market to book ratio relates what the investors believe a firm is worth to what the firm's accountants say it is worth according to accepted accounting principles. A low ratio indicates investors' belief that the firm's assets have been overvalued on its financial statements. Also called price-to-book-value ratio.
