The concept of intrinsic value - what Western Asset's is actually worth based on fundamentals - guides informed investors toward better entry and exit points. Analysts utilize numerous techniques to assess fundamental value, seeking to purchase shares when trading prices fall beneath estimated intrinsic worth. Market sentiment, economic cycles, and investor behavior can push Western Asset's price substantially above or below its fundamental value.

Please note, there is a significant difference between Western Asset's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Western Asset is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. In contrast, Western Asset's trading price reflects the actual exchange value where willing buyers and sellers reach mutual agreement.
