Investors also form their own opinion of GeoPark's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is GeoPark'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 GeoPark's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect GeoPark's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
