What is Book Value ?
Book value per share (BVPS) is the ratio of equity available to common shareholders divided by the number of outstanding shares. This figure represents the minimum value of a company's equity and measures the book value of a firm on a per-share basis.
---------------------------
Here I am explaining you one of the reason why Book value per share exceed the CMP, the reason is related to , company's portfolio current valuation.
It is been very common that one company buys shares of other company , the dividend income is reported as other income, and the current valuation of these stocks is added to company's Book value.
----------------------------
For example Let us study this share name : Maharashtra Scooter
A well known brand of Geared scooter in early days. I think every body has a childhood memory attached to it's scooter . Now from a well known established scooter manufacturer to a holding company the journey is very different from usual.
Some interesting fact about Maharashtra scooter , that I found reading it's fundamental
Market Cap : 4,204 Cr ( opp .. That is not so great finding ✏️✏️✏️)
Book Value of Company : 22702 Cr (That is interesting)
Story is not over yet , wait

3) Bajaj Auto Ltd .
Number of shares : 6964277
Holding Percentage : 2.41%
CMP : 3607
Current Value :2512.01Cr
These three stocks announced dividends recently where ex date was 30 June , Dividend of 20 , 25 , 140 per share Respectively.
If I multiply and calculate the dividend earning of Maharashtra scooter that it stands at 143.92 Cr .
When I checked it's shareholding than I found more interesting things
1) All these companies are Bajaj Group Companies where Chairman is Mr. Sanjeev Bajaj .
2) Bajaj Holding has 51% stake in Maharashtra scooter and Maharashtra scooter has 3.04% stake in Bajaj Holding.
3) Company's ( FY 21-22)
Sales : 17Cr while
Expense : -20 Cr
But,
EBITA : +174CR (because of the dividend income got the point ? Comment Below)
If I add current portfolio value of these three stocks only (According to CMP) it it around 9605 Cr.
That is Why the book value of this stock is exceeding its cmp.
