Evaluate shares of companies listed on the stock exchange, free of charge. This page explains what the Share Valuation Tool does, the mechanism behind every number it produces, the data it needs from you, how to read the results, and where the tool's limits are — with a fully worked example.

Property rights are considered a repository of historical records of events that took place within the company.
The Share Valuation Tool is a free, browser-based calculator built into this site that turns a handful of figures from a company's balance sheet and trading screen into a single, structured valuation report for one share.
You type in raw figures — nominal value, total equity, number of shares, net profit, total assets, and the share's recent trading range — and the tool returns book value, a suggested fair purchase price, a target selling price, expected profit and profit ratio, payback period, the company's liquidation exposure, and an efficiency rating, all on one page. Nothing is saved or transmitted anywhere: the calculation runs once, on submission, and the result is displayed immediately.
Most public balance sheets and trading screens give you raw numbers, not a judgment. The tool's purpose is to close that gap in seconds, without a spreadsheet or a finance background.
Convert scattered figures (equity, assets, profit, price) into one coherent valuation: is the current market price cheap, fair, or expensive relative to book value?
Apply one consistent method to every company you check, instead of an ad-hoc, back-of-envelope estimate that changes each time.
Surface liquidation exposure and management efficiency — two things price alone does not tell you — before you commit capital.
Replace formulas most retail investors never learned with a short form and a plain-English result.
The tool runs your inputs through a fixed, five-stage pipeline. Each stage feeds the next, exactly like a real valuation workflow: you always establish book value first, price the purchase from it, then work out an exit, then measure profitability and risk around that exit.
Total equity is spread across the number of issued shares to get what each share is really backed by on the balance sheet.
book value = equity ÷ sharesA fair purchase price is set 16% above book value, then the broker's commission is added to get your true entry cost.
price = book value × 1.16A 1.3% profit margin is applied to your cost, the selling commission is layered on, and the three are summed into a target exit price.
selling price = cost + profit + selling commissionProfit per share and its percentage are derived from the exit price, then scaled to however many shares your minimum purchase unit buys.
profit % = (profit ÷ cost) × 100The tool positions the current high/low trading range against your entry price, estimates a payback period, checks liquidation exposure, and rates management efficiency from net profit versus assets.
efficiency = f(assets, net profit)All fields on the form are required. Four are identifying text fields; the rest come straight from the company's latest financial statements and trading screen. Have these ready before you open the tool:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Company code | The stock's ticker or listing code on its exchange. |
| Company name | The company's registered or trading name. |
| Sector | The industry or sector the company is classified under. |
| Currency | The currency the financial statements and price are quoted in. |
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Nominal value | The share's face (par) value as stated in the company's articles. |
| Total equity | Capital + reserves + retained profits, minus any accumulated losses. Must be lower than total assets. |
| Number of shares | Total issued shares. Cannot be zero. |
| Net profit | Net profit for the period being evaluated. Must be lower than both equity and total assets. |
| Total assets | Total fixed and current assets on the balance sheet for the evaluation year. |
| Market value | The company's current per-share market value, on the same basis as book value. |
| Coupon value | Any coupon/dividend entitlement attached to the share, or zero if none. |
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Highest price | The highest price the share has traded at in the period you're reviewing. |
| Lowest price | The lowest traded price in the same period. Must be lower than the highest price. |
| Buying & selling commission | Your broker's commission rate, entered as a decimal fraction (e.g. 0.0015 for 0.15%). |
| Minimum purchase unit | The smallest value your broker lets you buy in, used to size a sample deal. |
| Shares listed | Total shares listed on the exchange for this company. |
| Shares traded | Shares traded in the period, which must not exceed the number listed. |
Submitting the form returns a single report. Its 28 fields fall into four natural groups — read them in this order for a coherent picture of the share.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Book value | What each share is worth per the balance sheet: equity ÷ shares. |
| Market price | The fair purchase price the tool derives: book value plus 16%. |
| Purchase cost | Purchase price plus your broker's buying commission — your real entry cost. |
| Selling price | The target exit price built from cost, target profit and selling commission. |
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Earnings per share | Profit generated per share between entry cost and target selling price. |
| Earnings per share ratio | That profit expressed as a percentage of your purchase cost. |
| Number of shares purchased | How many shares your minimum purchase unit buys at the derived purchase price. |
| Profitability of the transaction | Total expected profit on that sample deal (shares × profit per share). |
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Value / rate of the highest price | The period's highest traded price and how far above your purchase price it sits. |
| Value / rate of the lowest price | The period's lowest traded price and how far below your purchase price it sits — your downside reference. |
| Number of payback years | Roughly how many years, at an assumed 8% annual return on book value, it would take the market value to justify itself against book value. |
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Equity change % | How far book value has grown or shrunk versus nominal value — a proxy for accumulated reserves or losses. |
| Liquidation position | "don't liquidation" when book value is at or above half of nominal value; "liquidation" when it has fallen below that threshold — a solvency warning flag, not a prediction. |
| Company efficiency | A six-tier rating — excellent, very good, good, acceptable, pass, or very weak — built from net profit against total assets, or "losses" if the ratio falls below 1. |
| Coupon percentage | Coupon value as a percentage of purchase cost. |
| Percentage of shares traded | Shares traded as a share of shares listed — a simple liquidity indicator. |
Here is a complete pass through the tool with realistic figures, so you can see exactly how inputs become results.
Screen a share before buying: check whether the current price is trading above or below a book-value-anchored fair price.
Produce a quick, consistent talking point for a client conversation without opening a spreadsheet mid-call.
See book value, entry pricing, payback period and efficiency scoring applied step by step to real numbers.
Run the same company through the tool at different points in time, or run several companies side by side, using one fixed method throughout.
