Book Values: How these metrics can aid investment analysis

ExpectingValue published:
Book values are something I often think about as an investor, but haven't really ever taken the time to write about properly. They're one of the key metrics I look at - familiar readers will remember I often highlight a company's PTBV (price to tangible book value) in my main metrics tables, and several of my screens exclude firms trading at too high multiples of their book.

Portfolio Update: Victoria Plc heads for the exit; Armour Group Added

UK Value Investor — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 14:29:00 +0000

The company has a 10 year ROE average of...

UK Value Investor — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 13:35:00 +0100

UK Value Investor published:
The UKVI fund was down 6.48% this month compared to our iShares FTSE 100 benchmark. This was due to a large 7.04% gain in the benchmark which completely trounced my holdings over this short period. What upside we had was mostly thanks to French Connection Group (LON:FCCN) and their sale of Nicole Farhi, which prompted a raft of activity from institutional owners perhaps helping the share to its 23% gain from last month. On the downside, Luminar continued to slide another 16% but now it is such a small...
