<\/p>\nWe can question the fundamental value of certain goods like copper, the bitcoin or an Empire-era semainier. The problem with these three assets is that they do not detached dividends, so it is difficult to value them from a financial point of view. Their value lies in the utility they provide and their price is therefore a function of preferences.
\nFor financial assets that detach a coupon, valuation is somewhat less subjective. For stocks, there is even the socalled book value that evaluates the net assets of the company. This valuation is generally a liquidation value (difference between the forced sale of assets and the debt). If we compare the market value to the book value, we get the price-to-book. The higher this ratio, the more investors will value the book value of tomorrow; in other words, the ability of the company to do better in the future.<\/p>\n

The table can be read as follows: each TotalEnergies employee generates 109k euros in profits, which is twice what an employee at LVMH does. However, his work is valued half by the financial markets. The work of a BNP employee is valued 7 times less than the work of a L’Or\u00e9al employee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
