The market value of Backblaze is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Backblaze that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Backblaze's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Backblaze'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 Backblaze's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Backblaze's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

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