text: can you tell me how to compute the current price to book value, book value, and p/e multiplier of wal-mart?   go here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=wmt&annual  the book value is the shareholder equity, i think.  then, you figure out the number of shares to get a book value per share.  to do this, you can take their market cap and divide by the price.  for wmt, this is 191.61b / 45.98 = 4.17 billion shares. se/shares = 53.171 / 4.17 = 12.76 book value per share.  price to book will be price divided by book value per share. 45.98 / 12.76 = 3.60, which is close enough.  p/e is just the price divided by the earnings per share (eps).  their eps was 2.68. 45.98 / 2.68 = 17.2 p/e  some of that info is on the main quote page: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=wmt
