Understanding the GF Value

The GF Value is a proprietary measure that represents the current intrinsic value of a stock. The GF Value Line on our summary page gives an overview of the fair value that the stock should be traded at. It is calculated based on historical multiples that the stock has traded at, a GuruFocus adjustment factor based on the company's past returns and growth, and future estimates of the business performance.

According to the GF Value, Plug Power (PLUG, Financial) is significantly overvalued. The stock's fair value is estimated based on historical multiples, internal adjustments based on past business growth, and analyst estimates of future business performance.
