Does anyone know if book value per share is included in goodwill in the US and Globally. I believe yes for US but not sure globally
 
What?

I don't think book value (per share or otherwise) has much of anything to do with goodwill.
 
well...well...what a question ;)

Goodwill is included into the book value of the company...so it's also included into calculations of BV per share. That would be interesting indicator of BV goodwil per share ;) I don't see that much meaning of it. The %'ge of goodwill in TA is another issue, that would be interesting to see and impairment charges in last years

Just read this part "Goodwill is included into the book value of the

He's just yanking your chain with the rest of it.
 
well, answers depend on questions, JoeyDVivre ;)

Book value of company is Book value of its net assets, right? TA-TL, so it is *BS* to say that goodwill is included into BV of the company...well, whatever

There is tangible book value and there is book value; goodwill is not included in the former but is included in the latter.
 
For most companies, the book value is about equally useful with and without goodwill. It's really amazing that we spend so much time learning to read these strange documents thinking about what they might mean. My personal favorite was the balance sheet entry from Krispy Kreme for 'Capitalized Research Expenses'. For a donut company. For tens of millions...

unless specifically mentioned (tangible BV) BV does include GW.
