As global markets navigate a period of cautious optimism following the Federal Reserve's recent rate cut and ongoing political uncertainties, investors are closely watching for opportunities amid fluctuating indices. With U.S. stocks experiencing broad-based declines and European markets facing challenges from potential trade tariffs, the search for undervalued stocks becomes particularly relevant in this climate. Identifying potentially undervalued stocks requires careful consideration of a company's fundamentals and market positioning, especially during times when broader economic indicators show mixed signals.

Genscript Biotech is trading at HK$9.74, below its estimated fair value of HK$11.49, reflecting a good relative value compared to peers and industry standards.

Despite a low projected return on equity of 9.5%, these factors suggest potential undervaluation based on cash flows.
