How to calculate market value of a company?

Question

How do I calculate the market value of a company? I have their SEC filings to work with plus any information available freely on the Internet.

Is it just shares issued and outstanding times price per share? What do you do about Treasury Stock? Does that get subtracted from the total number of shares outstanding? And what about debt? Does that get included?

Answer 1

There are many or at least several ways but one of the most popular is a multiple of earnings per share based on there history of earnings as a percentage of there market price (i.e. earnings are historically about 3% 0f there share market price or If the earnings are $3.00 per year the market price would be maybe 15 times 3 0r $45.00 per share. Some use 10 or 15 or something in between based on projected earnings.

You should try with Penny Stocks Trading (you can find more info here: http://pennystocks.toptips.org )



Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share.

I've been subscribing to this PennyStock web site for about a year now and have loved the objective advice they give. He really does look for quality stocks and I've made some pretty nice profits on a lot of his suggestions. Being still fairly new to investing I have been dabbling a lot in penny stocks to try and grow my account. I may not have a big account, but it's a lot bigger than it was a year ago. On just one of Nathan's picks this year I managed to make my investment back ten-fold! Be careful! Penny stocks are notoriously risky but if you follow the right method the risk is almost 0. I suggest to invest only little money first and then reinvest the profits. This is the site I'm using: http://pennystocks.toptips.org

Answer 3

This is the total number of shares issued by the company multiplied by the market price.
