How You Can Be Saved From BIG Crashes; (Eg. of 32% Fall)

Published 13-05-2025, 10:02 am

In investing, timing is crucial—but even more critical is knowing what you’re holding and what it’s truly worth. While most investors focus on market buzz, earnings surprises, or technical patterns, those who pay attention to fair value often stay one step ahead.

Fair value, simply put, tells you whether a stock is overpriced or underpriced, based on its underlying financials. But calculating it manually requires deep knowledge of financial modeling—a luxury most investors don’t have the time or resources for.

That’s where automated fair value tools come into play. With zero manual effort, they deliver a highly precise estimate of a stock’s intrinsic worth, helping investors make informed decisions in a snap.

And the benefits go beyond spotting good buying opportunities. In fact, understanding when a stock is overvalued can be just as powerful—especially when markets turn.

Take this real-world example.

On 28 September 2024, Bajaj Auto Limited (NSE:BAJA) was trading at a steep INR 12,682 per share. On the surface, things looked fine. But a deeper look into its fair value, which stood at INR 8,511, revealed a stark warning—a downside risk of 32.8%.

Fast forward to 20 January 2025, and the stock hit that very level. For long-term holders, this translated to significant portfolio erosion. But investors who acted early—either by trimming their positions or shorting the stock in the derivatives market—could have saved big or even profited handsomely.

This is the power of knowing fair value. It provides a reality check when prices get ahead of fundamentals, allowing investors to avoid expensive mistakes or capitalize on market inefficiencies.

Tools that deliver such insights are no longer reserved for hedge funds or high-net-worth individuals. Platforms today bring automated fair value estimates straight to your dashboard—saving you hours and potentially thousands in missed opportunities.

And right now, there’s even more reason to explore this edge. With a Flash Sale offering up to 50% off, only for the next 52 hours, it might be the perfect time to arm your portfolio with data that matters. Because sometimes, the best investment decision is not buying—but knowing when to sell.
