Finance: What are Hidden Assets? 2 Views

Description:
What are Hidden Assets? A hidden asset is an asset that doesn’t show up on a company’s balance sheet. Hidden assets can also be used in reference to undervalued assets that are not used to determine a company’s share price. Using these hidden assets, an investor can determine the fair value of the stock to possibly make a profit, or at least have more insight into what the stock could potentially be worth.
