Definition

The value of the assets of a company less the value of its liabilities. It is common to hear investors saying, "A particular share is trading at 20% below net worth". What they mean is that if the company were to sell all its assets and pay off all its liabilities, the balance would be 20% more than its current market capitalisation. This then makes the share good value at the current share price.
