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