SouthState In The Money Call Balance

Investors also form their own opinion of SouthState's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is SouthState'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.
