Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Vishay Precision's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Vishay Precision's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
