misprice
Set wrong cost
To misprice something is to set its price incorrectly—either too high or too low relative to its actual value.
The term appears most often in financial contexts, where assets, securities, or risk may be mispriced by markets or institutions.
Analysts argued the bonds were mispriced given the company's weak fundamentals.
A mispricing can create opportunities for arbitrage or, when systematic, contribute to market instability.
