The best price of a firm’s shares is when stock’s worth of the company equals its intrinsic value as at a rate, there is no pressure to either buy or sell the shares in a hurry. In theory, the inherent worth and the actual trading value should equal although the intrinsic values are considered as the long run concepts. The executive role concerning shares is the maximization of a firm’s intrinsic value of the stocks and not necessarily its trading price. By so doing, the future average trading prices will also be maximized but not at all trading points around the trading periods. However, the shareholders would prefer undervaluing the share prices in the realization that should the executives be performing; then the trading prices need not be maximized at any point in time. Contrastingly, the CEO will prefer overvalued shares to benefit from the stock options at the present rates.
