Amazon to invest over $35 bln in India by 2030 amid AI, digital push
Investors often chase stock rallies without stopping to ask: Is the stock really worth that much? In the chaos of market optimism, fair valuation tends to be the first casualty - and the price for ignoring it can be steep. That’s where the fair value feature on InvestingPro proves to be a powerful tool.
Fair value is essentially the intrinsic value of a stock - what it’s truly worth, not just what it’s trading at. With InvestingPro, this complex process of calculating a stock’s fair value is fully automated, highly accurate, and designed for modern-day investors. The platform draws from multiple financial models to give a clear and objective view of whether a stock is overvalued or undervalued - no spreadsheets, no guesswork, no noise.
And if you think this is theoretical, let’s walk through a real-world example that could have saved investors a fortune.
On 1 August 2024, shares of Hindustan Zinc (NSE:HZNC) Ltd were trading at a lofty INR 647. But those who checked the stock’s fair value on InvestingPro would have seen a clear warning: its intrinsic value stood at INR 429 - signaling a 33.6% downside risk.

This wasn’t just a conservative estimate - it was a red flag.
Fast forward to 30 December 2024, and the stock crashed, hitting that exact fair value target of INR 429. Investors who didn’t heed the warning and held on likely saw a sharp drawdown in their portfolios. Those who acted - by exiting long positions or even shorting in the derivatives market - could have either preserved capital or turned a solid profit.
This is the real power of knowing the fair value of the stock. It doesn’t just help you find bargain buys - it helps you avoid costly mistakes.
With volatile markets and exaggerated valuations becoming the norm, understanding what a stock is truly worth is no longer optional - it’s essential.
InvestingPro makes this easy, precise, and accessible - and right now, during their Summer Sale, you can get access at up to 50% off.
Don’t wait for the next crash to learn the hard way. Equip yourself with insights that matter - before the market forces you to.
