Hello mnelson-ga,

Would you be happy with a net worth calculated from the number of
stocks multiplied by the current stock value?

I await your response,

tisme-ga

In terms of net worth, I am looking for value of tangible assets.

Thanks and Cheers

Hello mnelson-ga,

My recommendation to you in that case would be to split up the
question into 9 questions and cancel this one. I was able to find
current net worth for some of the companies, but not all of them. You
could also wait for another researcher to give this a try.

All the best,

tisme-ga

Hello mnelson,
For an estimate of the value of tangible assets of a company, would
(Total Assets minus Intangible Assets minus Goodwill) suffice?

Best regards,
elmarto

If you could find those numbers, yes. However, I am a little unclear
about the measure of Goodwill. Please specifiy your calcluations in
your answers.

I was thinking these numbers would be in the annual reports.

Thanks and Cheers

Hello again mnelson,
Actually, the Goodwill is reported as such in the balance sheet, so it
doesn't need any extra calculations. Goodwill is usually the
difference between the value of the assets of a company and the value
of the company itself (and thus includes intangibles, such as the
brand value).

For example, for Coca Cola, I would say:
  Total Assets 30,350 million
- Intangibles   2,993 million
- Goodwill      1,210 million

Net Worth      26,147 million

If this is acceptable to you, please let me know.

Best regards,
elmarto

That would be great. The brand value is the real number I am looking
for. Here is an example of my old numbers. Your work seems bang on
(except I hope your numbers were just examples for coke.


Here is my old example:

Coca Cola: 
Stock Value=56 billion 
Net Worth (Tangible Assets)=4 billion
Intangible=52 billion
90% of Stock Value is Intagible

Thanks for your care
Cheers

Hello mnelson,
Actually, the values I entered for Coke are correct. It appears that
you are confusing total asset value (which is currently approximately
$30 billion for Coke) with the total stock value (or market cap, which
is currently about $100 billion), which reflects the ability of the
company to generate dividends for its shareholders.

Which of these do you need to know?

Regards,
elmarto

Hi,

First of all, thanks for your diligence. I am looking for the total
stock value and the Net Worth (from your calculations). Sorry to cause
confusion.

Thanks again

Hello mnelson,
Thank you for the clarification. I've almost finished the work, but
have just realized that Gillette is actually part of Procter & Gamble,
so there's no financial information availabe on it. Please let me know
if you will settle for the other 8 companies or if you would like me
to research any one in order to replace it.

Best regards,
elmarto

8 is great. Thanks for your attention to detail.

Cheers.

Hello!
You'll find an Excel file with the data you required at the following link
http://www.filefactory.com/file/d487aa/

Data regarding asset value is taken from each firm's most recent
balance sheet, market cap is based on today's closing stock price for
each company.


I hope this helps! If there's anything unclear about my answer, please
don't hesitate to request clarification before rating it.

Best wishes!
