A *stock* price which is perceived to be "too low" or cheap as indicated by a particular valuation model For instance, some might consider a particular company's stock price cheap if the company's price/earnings ratio is much lower than the industry average However, caution needs to be exercised Using the current P/E ratio is an imperfect way to value securities (we need to consider the expected future stream of earnings and discount by the appropriate risk adjusted rate) Hence, when one talks of undervaluation or overvaluation you are implicitly assuming some model of valuation It is always possible that the security is valued correctly and the you apply model is wrong

(Ekonomi) A currency which is quoted or traded below what is perceived as its true market value, given its country's balance of payments position, economy, interest rates and so on. An undervalued currency will be in demand as traders and speculators believe it will rise and therefore will buy it to make a profit; enough of such buying and expectations become self-fulfilling as demand pushes the currency higher. Exporters' and importers' views on currencies would influence how they manage cashflows. An exporter would bring foreign-exchange receipts into the country if the domestic currency were considered undervalued and therefore likely to rise; an importer would delay payments in the hope that the undervalued domestic currency would rise, thereby reducing the cost of imports
