FACTBOX: Lehman's market value -- some comparisons
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The 45 percent slide in the shares of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc on Tuesday reduced the investment bank's market value to just $5.4 billion -- down from $36 billion a year ago.
The firm's stock market value is now equivalent to:
-- One-twelfth the value of Goldman Sachs Co Inc
-- One-eighth the value of Merrill Lynch Co Inc
-- One-fifth the value of discount broker Charles Schwab
-- Half the value of online discount broker TD Ameritrade
-- About double the sale price for one New York office building, the GM Building, when it was sold in May
-- Five days of Wal-Mart Stores Inc sales
-- About half the earnings reported by Exxon Mobil in the second quarter.
