As European markets experience a boost, with the STOXX Europe 600 Index rising by 2.77% amid easing trade tensions and positive signals from major economies like Germany and France, investors may find opportunities in stocks potentially trading below their estimated value. In such an environment, identifying undervalued stocks involves looking for companies with strong fundamentals that have been overlooked or mispriced by the market, offering potential for growth as conditions stabilize.
