The market value of Zillow Group is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Zillow that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Zillow's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Zillow'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 Zillow's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Zillow's 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 Zillow's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Zillow is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Zillow's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
