In the current global market landscape, cooling inflation in the U.S. and robust bank earnings have driven major stock indexes higher, with value stocks outperforming growth shares significantly. Amid these developments, identifying undervalued stocks becomes crucial as they offer potential opportunities for investors looking to capitalize on discrepancies between market prices and intrinsic values.
