undervaluation
Worth deemed insufficient
Undervaluation is the act of assessing something as worth less than it actually is, or the state of being so assessed.
The term applies to financial assets, currencies, real estate, or abstract qualities like someone's contributions: The undervaluation of her work became obvious when she left and three people were hired to replace her.
In markets, undervaluation may signal a buying opportunity—or a failure to recognize true worth.
