So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits.

Universal Display Insider Trading Activities

Trading by specific Universal Display insiders, such as employees or executives, is commonly permitted as long as it does not rely on Universal Display's material information that is not in the public domain. Local jurisdictions usually require such trading to be reported in order to monitor insider transactions.

The market value of Universal Display is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Universal that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Universal Display's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Universal Display's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Universal Display's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Universal Display's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Universal Display's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Universal Display is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Universal Display's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
