Overview

Over the past 40 years there has been a progressive and huge divergence between company balance sheet value and value expressed by shareholders, represented by share price and market capitalisation.

Furthermore, the statistical correlation between accounting-based measures of performance over a one- to three-year time horizon and corporate share value is poor.

This module looks at the real driving forces behind share values in today’s world.
