To an accountant that's exactly how they would value companies, through "total equity" ...
With investors and stocks, it's totally based on speculation ...
I quite like using total equity as a measure of worth since it's more grounded but even that's still subject to speculation ...
There is only value in something if people believe it to have value such as money even though it's just printed paper ...
