vandole yule's blog : Undervalued stocks
What makes a stock undervalued? This question concerns both beginners and experienced investors, because the ability to notice such an opportunity in time can be a source of significant profits. An undervalued stock is a security that is worth less on the market than its real, or intrinsic, value. In other words, investors temporarily do not see or underestimate the company's potential, and its price does not reflect its true development prospects.
There may be several reasons for this. First, market psychology: during crises or panic sales, even quality companies can fall in price, although their business remains strong. Second, information distortions: investors do not always have a complete picture of the company's financial performance or prospects. Third, short-term difficulties that do not affect the long-term sustainability of the business often lead to excessive declines in quotes.
Fundamental analysis helps to determine undervaluation. Investors look at price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, price-to-book value (P/B) ratios, and profitability and cash flow ratios. If these multiples are below the market average or significantly below competitors, this may indicate undervaluation. It is also important to consider future prospects: revenue growth, new products, competitive advantages, or entry into new markets.
In the long run, the market usually “corrects” this situation: when investors realize the true value of a company, the share price rises to a more fair level. That is why finding undervalued stocks is the basis of the “value investing” strategy, an approach used by such famous investors as Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett.
