Fair price

What is fair price

Fair price is the estimated value of a stock or other asset that corresponds to its true economic value. This concept helps investors determine whether a given asset is overvalued or undervalued in the market.

Fair price is calculated based on fundamental analysis, which considers a company's financial results, growth potential, competition, market environment, and other factors.

How fair price is determined

• Discounted cash flow — the DCF method, which estimates the present value of future cash flows.
• Valuation multiples — comparison with industry averages such as P/E ratio, EV/EBITDA, or P/FCF.
• Comparison with peers — analysis of similar companies in the market.
• Historical valuation — comparing the current price with the long-term average.

Why fair price matters

• Helps identify investment opportunities.
• Reduces the risk of overpaying for stocks.
• Supports a long-term strategy of buying quality companies at a reasonable price (value investing).

Limitations of fair price

• It is based on estimates and assumptions that can change.
• Market psychology can cause a stock price to deviate from its fair value for extended periods.
• The calculation varies depending on the method used and the data sources.
