CAPEX per Share
Calculate the capex per share, a valuation ratio that measures the amount of capital expenditures made per outstanding share of a company’s stock.
The capex per share ratio provides insight into how much capital a company invests in its operations and growth initiatives relative to its shareholder base. It can help investors assess the level of reinvestment into the business.
The formula is as follows:
\[\text{CAPEX per Share} = \text{Capital Expenditure} / \text{Weighted Average} (\text{Diluted}) \text{Shares}\]Also known as: capital expenditure per share.
