The correlation of ASGN is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as ASGN moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if ASGN Inc moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.

The market value of ASGN Inc is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of ASGN that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of ASGN's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is ASGN's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because ASGN's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect ASGN's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between ASGN's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if ASGN is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, ASGN's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
