The ratio that represents the premium or discount a shareholder pays relative to the underlying company's net worth. Example: a stock with a book value of $10/share that is currently selling at $12/share has a 120% or 1.2X price-to-book ratio. The price-to-book ratio indicates the tangible, underlying hard assets of a company, instead of future earnings only.
The price per share of a stock divided by its book value (i.e., net worth) per share. For a portfolio, the ratio is the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Used to compare a stock's price to its book value. This ratio is calculated by dividing the current price of a share of stock by the company's book value (per share). The book value is calculated by dividing the net worth of a company by the number of shares outstanding. Price-to-book is often used in determining the attractiveness of a security.
Is computed by dividing the current share price by the book value per share. Book value per share is determined by dividing assets less the liabilities (the book value) by the number of shares outstanding.
