Every investor dreams of catching the next big stock rally, but what about avoiding a massive downfall? What if you had the power to exit an overvalued stock before it crashed? This is where knowing a stock’s fair value becomes a game-changer.
Take NHPC Limited (NSE:NHPC) as a real-world example. On July 16, 2024, the stock was trading at INR 113.6 per share—a price that seemed attractive to many investors. But those who checked its fair value at the time would have seen a stark reality: NHPC was overvalued, with a fair value of just INR 73.7. This suggested a steep downside potential of 35.1%.

Fast forward to January 13, 2025, and NHPC’s price hit its fair value. Investors who relied on fair value analysis had already exited their positions, saving themselves from a significant loss. Some traders who took it a step further and went short in the derivatives market likely walked away with substantial profits.
The Power of Fair Value in Market Timing
Traditional valuation methods can be complex, requiring detailed financial modeling and manual calculations. But what if you could get a precise and automated valuation in seconds? That’s exactly what InvestingPro’s fair value feature offers.
This tool eliminates guesswork by providing an accurate, data-driven assessment of a stock’s true worth. Whether a stock is undervalued (a buying opportunity) or overvalued (a signal to exit or short), fair value helps investors make informed decisions—before it’s too late.
Don’t Be the One Left Holding the Bag
NHPC’s case is just one example of how fair value can serve as an early warning system. Many investors blindly hold stocks, hoping for endless gains, only to see their portfolios shrink when reality catches up. But smart investors stay ahead by leveraging the power of fair value.
With InvestingPro, you don’t have to second-guess your decisions. The automated fair value feature arms you with precise, real-time valuations, helping you identify when to enter, when to exit, and when to capitalize on downturns.

Will You Be Ready for the Next Market Move?
The markets don’t wait for anyone. The question is: Will you be ahead of the curve, or will you look back wishing you had acted sooner? The next NHPC-like scenario could be unfolding right now—don’t miss it.
