The market value of Heritage Financial is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Heritage that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Heritage Financial's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Heritage Financial's 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 Heritage Financial's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Heritage Financial's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
