Page 2 Intrinsic value is the value of the asset given a (hypothetically) complete understanding of the asset and its investment characteristics (., risk and future cash flows). The “true” or “real” value of the asset to an individual. Not necessarily the asset’s market price. If the market price > intrinsic value Asset is overvalued. If the market price < intrinsic value Asset is undervalued. Asset Mispricing LOS: Define valuation and intrinsic value, and explain two possible sources of perceived mispricing. Pages 2 – 3 The efficient market theory states that information about an asset is reflected in its value so that Market price = Intrinsic value. Challenges to the efficient market theory: Grossman–Stiglitz paradox: If assets were always correctly priced, then analysts would not have an incentive to find undervalued stocks.
