From [1]: > A higher RG value indicates a larger gap between market valuation and the estimated fundamental base — meaning the market is pricing the company at a significant multiple of what the fundamentals alone would support. A lower RG value suggests that the market price is closer to being covered by the fundamental base. This is dumb. They’ve decided that their estimate of the true value is the correct one, and then calculate the difference from that. But of course, the fundamental issue is everyone has a different estimate. There’s no reason to believe their estimate is better than anyone else’s [1] https://hstre.github.io/Reality-Gap/methodology/
