For long-term investors, understanding a stock’s intrinsic value—its true worth based on financial fundamentals—is essential. Intrinsic value serves as a guiding light, helping investors identify undervalued opportunities or avoid overvalued traps. When a stock trades below its intrinsic value, it signals a potential buying opportunity; conversely, trading above intrinsic value often warrants caution or a sell decision.
But calculating intrinsic value isn’t for the faint of heart. It demands complex financial modeling—tools like Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratios, and Enterprise Value/EBIT (EV/EBIT)—that can overwhelm even experienced investors. Take Oberoi Realty (NSE:OEBO), for instance. After a sharp decline of 8.1%, it’s trading at INR 1,839. Determining its true worth would traditionally involve juggling multiple models, each with its own assumptions.
This is where InvestingPro steps in as a game-changer. InvestingPro automates the intrinsic value calculation using 13 advanced financial models, including DCF and EV/EBIT. But the real magic lies in its Fair Value feature, which averages the results from these models to deliver a balanced, realistic estimate of a stock’s worth.

Oberoi Realty’s current market price (CMP) of INR 1,839 is just shy of its fair value, pegged at INR 1,863.9 by InvestingPro. This insight is invaluable. Earlier this month, when Oberoi Realty was trading around INR 2,300, an investor using InvestingPro might have seen the stock was overvalued and taken a decisive sell call, avoiding potential losses. Now, as the stock approaches fair value, the landscape shifts, opening up potential buy opportunities.
By simplifying intrinsic value calculations and offering actionable insights, InvestingPro enables investors to confidently navigate the market. Whether it’s spotting undervalued gems or flagging overvalued risks, the Fair Value feature eliminates guesswork, putting investors in control of their strategies.
