As such, the share price can be lower than it for the usual reasons why share prices are less than the underlying value. I don't invest in life insurance companies so am not familiar with that metric. The share price and underlying value are completely distinct things and are rarely the same. The share price can be lower due to future expectations. I believe the embedded value per share is a metric used by life insurance companies to reflect future shareholders profits.
