What does 'book equity' mean? I am currently studying Corporate Finance.?

Book equity or book value of equity per share is one factor that investors can use to determine whether a stock is undervalued, this metric should not be used by itself as it only presents a very limited view of the firm's situation.

It can be calulated as the ratio of equity value and number of shares outstanding.

You need to look in the ledgers and take Assets minus Liabilities. This will leave you with a company's Book Value for Equity.
