overvalued
Priced too high
Overvalued describes something priced or esteemed beyond its actual worth.
A stock is overvalued when its market price exceeds what fundamentals justify: Analysts warn the tech sector is overvalued.
The term applies beyond finance—an overvalued employee gets more credit than deserved, an overvalued idea more attention than it merits.
The opposite is undervalued.
