below par

Definition

Bond, share, or other security selling at a price lower than its par value—that is, at a discount. Bond values are stated on a scale where the face value (whatever the amount) is assigned the number 100, and the discount is shown as a factor of 100. For example, a bond with a par value $1,000 and priced at 90 is selling at $900. Also called 'at a discount.'
