As global markets experience a resurgence with cooling inflation and robust bank earnings propelling U.S. stocks higher, value stocks have notably outperformed growth shares, driven by sectors like energy and financials. This environment of easing core inflation and strong corporate performance presents opportunities for investors to explore stocks priced below their estimated intrinsic value. Identifying such undervalued stocks involves assessing the company's fundamentals, market position, and potential for growth relative to current market conditions.
