Undervalued
Definition of Undervalued
A stock is considered undervalued when its market price is lower than its intrinsic or fair value based on fundamentals such as earnings, cash flow, or assets. For example, if a company with strong profits and stable growth trades below its historical valuation multiples, investors may view it as undervalued and expect price appreciation.

Convertible Arbitrage
A convertible arbitrage is a trading strategy that involves buying convertible securities - most commonly bonds and preferred stock - and a short option on the common stock of the same company.
Because of this combination of purchases, a convertible arbitrage strategy is known as a neutral strategy designed to profit from the supposed inefficiencies that lie in the pricing of convertible securities.

Over-Allotment Option
An Over-Allotment Option, often referred to as a Greenshoe option in the Indian primary market, gives the underwriters the right to sell more shares (usually 15%) over and above the original IPO size if there is strong demand. If the share price drops below the issue price, the underwriters can use the proceeds from the extra shares to repurchase shares in the open market for support. If the price goes up, they exercise the option and sell the extra shares to the market. This mechanism is regulated by SEBI in India, and the primary purpose is price stabilisation.

Trendline
A trendline is a straight line drawn on a price chart to indicate the direction of a market trend. It connects a series of higher lows in an uptrend or lower highs in a downtrend. Trendlines help identify support and resistance levels, assess trend strength, and anticipate potential breakouts or reversals.
Strike Price
The strike price refers to the fixed price at which a trader can buy (call) or sell (put) the underlying asset. The strike price is a key component in options trading. It helps traders determine whether or not the option would be profitable when it expires. The intrinsic value of an option is influenced by the difference between the market price and strike price.
