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

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