Is "pervalue" an antonym of "devalue"?

*Devalue* is commonly used to mean *diminish value*.

Seems like the prefix *re-* is sometimes used with opposite effect to *de-*, as in *reinforce* meaning to *increase force* or *refried* meaning *more fried*.

However, *revalue* does not mean to increase value.

In this situation, sometimes *per-* is used to connote greater intensity. I could not find *pervalue* in a dictionary - but is it a "valid" word?
