When InvestingPro’s Fair Value models identified MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) as significantly overvalued in January 2024, the stock was trading at $631.08. This analysis has proven remarkably accurate, with the stock now trading at $343.20, representing a 45.62% price adjustment. For investors seeking similar opportunities, current overvalued stocks can be found on our Most overvalued list.

MicroStrategy, known for its enterprise analytics software and aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, has undergone significant transformation since the initial analysis. The company’s fundamental picture showed notable shifts, with EBITDA improving from -$108.62 million to $6,676.08 million, while revenue slightly decreased from $496.26 million to $462.32 million.

The Fair Value analysis proved particularly prescient given MicroStrategy’s volatile journey throughout 2024 and 2025. The company continued its ambitious Bitcoin acquisition strategy, announcing multiple purchases and a $4.2 billion ATM program. Despite positive analyst sentiment, with firms like BTIG and Cantor Fitzgerald setting targets above $600, the stock’s movement validated InvestingPro’s valuation concerns.

InvestingPro’s Fair Value methodology combines multiple valuation approaches, including discounted cash flow analysis, comparable company metrics, and market sentiment indicators. This comprehensive approach helped identify MicroStrategy’s overvaluation despite the complexity of evaluating a company with such significant cryptocurrency exposure.

Recent developments have continued to support the original thesis. While MicroStrategy has expanded its Bitcoin holdings and rebranded as Strategy Inc, focusing on Bitcoin and AI initiatives, the stock price has found a more sustainable level. The company faces ongoing challenges, including potential index exclusion risks and significant unrealized Bitcoin losses, as highlighted by recent analyst reports.

The success of this Fair Value analysis demonstrates the importance of combining fundamental analysis with sophisticated valuation tools.
