In recent weeks, global markets have experienced fluctuations driven by tariff uncertainties and mixed economic data, with U.S. stocks ending lower despite some recovery from initial losses. As investors navigate this volatile landscape, identifying stocks trading below their intrinsic value can offer potential opportunities for those seeking to capitalize on market inefficiencies. In the current environment of cautious optimism and strategic positioning, understanding what constitutes a good stock—such as strong fundamentals and resilience to external pressures—becomes crucial for making informed investment decisions.
