Net asset value per share (NAVPS) is the difference between a REIT’s assets and its liabilities (all taken at current market values rather than accounting book values), divided by the number of shares outstanding.
NAVPS = (Value of assets – Value of liabilities) / number of shares outstanding
The actual share price can be different from NAVPS. Shares can trade either at a discount or a premium to NAVPS. NAVPS is the largest component of the intrinsic value of the stock.
NAVPS calculation
The current market value of real estate assets is calculated by capitalizing NOI. The market values of other assets and liabilities are assumed to be equal to their book values.
The following table provides an example of NAVPS calculation. It starts with the net operating income (NOI) of a property and shows the various adjustments which need to be made.
