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