20 Dividend Champions With The Lowest Price To Book (PBV) Ratio

The price-to-book ratio (P/B Ratio) is a ratio used to compare a stock's market value to its book value. It is calculated by dividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter's book value per share. 

What is a good price to book ratio?
In absolute terms, a P/B ratio under 1.0 is considered low. Traditionally, any value under 1.0 is considered a good P/B value, indicating a potentially undervalued stock. However, value investors often consider stocks with a P/B value under 3.0. P/B ratio examines market capitalization in relation to the bookvalue of a company as shown on its balance sheet.

Find attached a list of the 20 cheapest long-term dividend growth stocks by price-to-book ratio.
