Stocks Trading Below Book Value in the US Market (2026)
Profitable US companies whose market price sits below the net book value on their own balance sheet — price-to-book under 1, straight from filings. 86 companies qualify today — top 25 below, recomputed nightly from SEC filings.
A price-to-book ratio below 1 means the market values the whole company at less than the net assets reported on its balance sheet. That can flag a genuine bargain — or a business the market expects to keep destroying value, which is why a sub-1 P/B is so often a trap. This screen requires positive free cash flow and a multi-year record of profits, and it floors price-to-book at 0.2 to drop the distorted, near-zero-equity cases, then ranks the survivors from the lowest P/B up. Book value is least meaningful for asset-light and heavily-financial businesses, so read each name against what it actually owns before drawing conclusions.
