Less vs Minus
Does less mean the same as minus here?

Yes

Liberty Media example needs to be dated
It's fine to use an individual company as an example, but a date should be provided to indicate that this statement was true at a certain point in time. It's not always going to be true. I added a cn.

Total Market Value being Confused with NAV?
I think of NAV as (Assets-Liabilities)/Shares. Why does the wiki definition not mention aportioning?

 * I would call that "NAV per share". I have never heard the term "Total Market Value", but it sounds like a different concept in any case, as it looks more like market capitalisation. Funds which trade on markets generally have a market capitalisation different from (usually lower than) their NAV. Westmorlandia (talk) 10:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

The article needs a clear and precise definition of Net Asset Value
I looked up the term because I wanted a precise crisp definition of it. I found none. I am not going to edit the article since I am not a specialist in the field but something like this is needed (though this definition is NAV / share) "Net Asset Value per share is defined as the reserve value, discounting cash flows at 10%, less net debt plus the cash proceeds from the exercise of options, incentive shares and deferred shares divided by the fully diluted shares outstanding."

(This is from a blog called "Canadian Value Investing" The reason I looked up the term was to see if this was the accepted meaning of NAV or just his own variation. I was disappointed by the article which was very imprecise just discussing the use of NAV without giving its definition) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dansynek (talk • contribs) 05:12, 11 April 2011 (UTC)


 * For anyone wondering about this, NAV has a completely different meaning for oil & gas companies, which is what the above comment references. That's not what this article is about. NAV in the oil & gas exploration and production (E&P) sector is not an accounting measure, but rather a subjective discounted cash flow (DCF)-based valuation of the income expected from its proved reserves and unproven resource in place. Because 10% is the consensus discount rate, it's often referred to as "PV-10"... at the risk of further confusing the issue, there is a related accounting measure also commonly called "PV-10" (or "SEC PV-10") which is defined as the standardized measure of cash flows, discounted at 10%, expected to come from a company's proven reserves. No value is given for unproven reserves. NAVs may be shown on a pre-or post-tax basis, SEC PV-10 must be shown post-tax (most companies will also provided a pre-tax figure alongside it). Unlike NAV, this is fully recognized by the SEC and included in the annual (but not quarterly) financial statements of every company with significant E&P assets; neither measure is covered by US GAAP.


 * The Canadian investing website likely focuses on E&P NAV because the sector is the most important industry in Canada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.190.11 (talk) 18:59, 8 May 2014

This article appears to be US-centric
There are many statements made in this article that assume the term "NAV" only applies in the US. It needs to be rewritten to talk about NAVs in general and then have separate sections for each region. In the UK it's usually used in the context of investment trusts (closed-end funds).
