Par value sometimes does not give a great meaning. Net worth (net assets) per share may be more meaningful to an investor. A few ways to value a company likely commonly used Price Earning (PE) Ratio, net asset per share, dividend yield per share, etc. General market PE for Bursa Malaysia may be around 14x to 15x. Concept of par value will soon be abolished under the impending company law reform in Malaysia. Singapore has abolished par value concept long ago.
