misvalue
Judge worth wrongly
To misvalue is to assign the wrong worth to something—either underestimating or overestimating it: The market had misvalued the company for years.
The word applies to financial assets, personal relationships, or abstract qualities: We misvalue leisure until we no longer have it.
