But share value is somewhat deceiving without knowing how many shares are outstanding.
Market capitalization (a.k.a. market cap) is a better measure of relative financial strength ... for example:
Ford = $14.05 billion
GM = $17.49 billion
Toyota = $$118.00 billion
That's right - Toyota's market cap is approaching 4 times that of Ford and GM combined -- I for one wouldn't bet against Toyota basically achieving any goal is sets for itself - and it's no secret they want to the be the number one auto manufacturer in the world.
