As global markets navigate a complex economic landscape, the Hong Kong market has experienced fluctuations, with the Hang Seng Index recently declining by 2.11%, reflecting broader challenges such as deflationary pressures and economic growth concerns. In this environment, identifying undervalued stocks can present opportunities for investors seeking to capitalize on discrepancies between market prices and intrinsic values.
