The market value of Boyd Gaming is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Boyd that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Boyd Gaming's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Boyd Gaming's true underlying value.

Investors typically determine if Boyd Gaming is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections.
