Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Proto Labs' market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Proto Labs' underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

Investors typically determine if Proto Labs is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Proto Labs' 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.
