The market value of iShares Utilities ETF is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of IShares that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of IShares Utilities' value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is IShares Utilities' true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because IShares Utilities' market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect IShares Utilities' underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between IShares Utilities' value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if IShares Utilities is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections.
