English term or phrase: high book-to-market ratio = (book equity)/(market equity)
I´m stuck with this phrase (another large ppt on finances)

Value stocks = high book-to-market ratio = (book equity)/(market equity)

All the context I have is this:

Fama and French (1992): market β bad at predicting future stock returns
Found a large alpha for ”value stocks” as opposed to ”growth stocks”
Value stocks = high book-to-market ratio = (book equity)/(market equity)

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

Book to market

The ratio of book value to market value of equity. A high ratio is often interpreted as a value stock (the market is valuing equity relatively cheaply compared to book value). This is the same as a low price-to-book value ratio. Value managers often form portfolios of securities with high book to market values.

book equity: valor liquido segun los libros
market value: valor en el mercado

relación entre valor en los libros y el valor de mercado = (cap. en los libros)/(cap. de mercado)


Explanation:
It is the ratio of the value in the books (the company's financial statements) and the market value (the company's value in the market). It tells you how the market sees the value of a company as compared to the results it shows in the books.
