Using the research tool of your choice, locate historical Equity (or BVPS) numbers, going back 10 years if possible. Enter the oldest available number as your "Initial" Value. Enter the most recent number as your "Current" value. Then, in the "Age" box, enter a number of years (for example, if your oldest number is from 10 years ago and your newest is from this year, the total span of time between them is 9 years).
If you're using very large Equity numbers (i.e. $415,000,000) instead of BVPS ratio numbers with decimals in them, drop the zeros off the ends. Just be sure to drop the same number of zeroes off each dollar value you enter. Click 'Calculate' to get your result.
