Income Statement
Book Value / Share
Allocates book equity attributable to owners across average, usually diluted, shares. This matters because an investor owns a fraction of the company, not the aggregate: if share count rises, per-share economics can fall even when the total grows.

- Definition
- Allocates book equity attributable to owners across average, usually diluted, shares. This matters because an investor owns a fraction of the company, not the aggregate: if share count rises, per-share economics can fall even when the total grows.
- Uses
- Very useful in companies with buybacks, stock compensation, stock-funded acquisitions or convertibles. It can mislead if splits, one-off buybacks or dilutive instruments are not adjusted. Cross-check diluted shares, FCF per share, EPS and ROIC.
