Icon, NCAV is just a more conservative way of valuing the business as it assumes a liquidation scenario.
NCAV = Current assets - Total liabilities.
Assets like cash, inventories and receivables are easier to value and liquidate whereas plant and equipment may have some value, but these may have to be sold as fire-sale in distress situation. This method may be more applicable to industrial type companies where the bulk of the fixed assets are in plant and equipment which may not fetch market price. I make some exceptions if fixed assets consist of liquid assets like stakes in associates or valuable land not re-valued for ages.
As a rule of thumb when using this method, I will buy if price drops below 2/3 of NCAV. There are other factors need to consider in parallel as well to make sure its not a value trap. If you are interested to find out more about this strategy, there is a website that is dedicated to this investment style which you can refer to
Thanks Noby. I think I understand how it works now. Basically it applies a super stringent criteria to identify undervalued stocks. A stock that trades below its net assets might not be sufficiently undervalued. A stock that trades below its net current assets is more decisively undervalued
I am not a big fan of asset based valuation, but this method does have merits. Thanks for sharing
