For a company, the book value is its total assets subtracted by liabilities, intangible assets and/or goodwill.

Slippage
Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which it actually gets executed. Usually, it happens during periods of high volatility or low liquidity. Small slippage is normal, but the returns can get significantly impacted by large slippages. Active traders using market orders or scalping strategies must take guard against these risks.
Market-on-Close (MOC)
Market-on-Close (MOC) is an order to buy or sell a security at the market price as close as possible to the closing price of the trading session. It is commonly used by traders and investors who want execution at the day’s end, reflecting the final market sentiment.
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.
Placing
Placing, or Private Placement, is a process of raising capital in which a company sells its securities (stocks or bonds) to a selected group of investors (such as banks, mutual funds, insurance companies) or high net worth individuals instead of selling them to the general public through a public offering (like an IPO). In India, companies frequently use private placement to raise funds in a short period of time from specific investors. This is a faster and less expensive process than a public issue.
Forward Price
The forward price is the final value at which a forward contract is exercised, that is, delivered to the buyer by the seller. It is different from the spot price of the underlying asset as it includes the cost of carry like interest rates, storage cost, and other carrying charges. The formula to calculate forward price is:
Forward price: Spot Price − Cost of Carry (storage costs, interest rate, etc)
Forward price: Spot Price − Cost of Carry (storage costs, interest rate, etc)
