What is value of a company vs its equity? i.e. what is the value of a company? And what is the value of its equity? I guess value of its equity is simply share price times by number of shares outstanding i.e. market capitalisation?

The value of the company is the value of its assets.

The value of its equity is the value of its assets less the value of its liabilities.

Ah, simpler than I thought.

Music to my signature’s ears.
