What Net Worth Means for Companies
Net worth is the difference between a company's total assets and total liabilities. It represents the residual value that would remain if the company settled all its debts and liquidated its assets.
How Companies Are Ranked by Net Worth
Rankings typically use market capitalization, book value, or enterprise value. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the current share price by the total number of outstanding shares. Book value is derived from the company's balance sheet, reflecting net assets.
