As global markets rally with major indices reaching new highs, driven by optimism over potential trade deals and AI investments, investors are keenly observing the performance of growth stocks, which have recently outpaced their value counterparts. Amidst this buoyant environment, identifying undervalued stocks can be a strategic move for those looking to capitalize on discrepancies between market price and intrinsic value. Recognizing such opportunities often involves assessing a company's fundamentals against prevailing market conditions to determine its true worth.

MicroPort NeuroScientific is trading at HK$10.24, significantly below its estimated fair value of HK$20.15, suggesting undervaluation based on cash flows.
