Book value per share represents the company's net assets per share. It is calculated by dividing the company's total assets minus total liabilities by the total number of outstanding shares. This metric gives investors an idea of the company's intrinsic value and financial health.
The three common financial ratios used to assess a company's valuation: the Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E), the Price-to-Book Ratio (P/B), and the Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S).
The P/E ratio, which is 22x in this case, measures the market value of a company's stock relative to its earnings per share. A higher P/E ratio suggests that investors are willing to pay a premium for the company's future earnings potential.
The P/B ratio, at 9x, compares the market value of a company's stock to its book value per share (assets minus liabilities). A higher P/B ratio indicates that the market values the company's intangible assets (like brand value, intellectual property) more than its tangible assets.
The P/S ratio, which is 3x, evaluates the market value of a company's stock relative to its annual revenue. A higher P/S ratio might suggest that investors expect strong future revenue growth or are willing to pay a premium for the company's market share.
Financial Ratio
1. Return on Equity (ROE): 42.83% (3-year average)
· This shows how well the company is using its equity (owner's money) to generate profits. A high ROE is a good sign of strong profitability.
2. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE): 60.36% (3-year average)
· This ratio tells us how efficiently the company is using both its debt and equity to make profits. A high ROCE suggests the company is making good use of its resources.
3.Debt-to-Equity Ratio: 0.02x (3-year average)
· This measures the company’s debt compared to its equity. A low ratio means the company is not overly reliant on debt, which reduces financial risk.
4. Interest Coverage Ratio: 236.23x (3-year average)
This shows how easily the company can pay its interest on debt. A high ratio indicates that the company is in a strong financial position and can easily meet its debt obligations.
