Margin of Safety
Margin of safety represents the difference between a company’s stock price and the company’s value.
When the stock price of the company falls sufficiently below the intrinsic value, it creates a buying opportunity. Value investors expect that over time, as others recognize the true value of the company, its share price will climb toward its intrinsic value. As this happens, the margin of safety shrinks. When the share price equals or exceeds the company’s intrinsic value, the margin of safety has disappeared and the shares should be sold.
