The U.S. stock market recently experienced its largest one-day losses in nearly two years, with major indexes like the Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500, and Dow Jones Industrial Average all recording significant declines. Amid this turbulence and growing concerns about the economy's health, investors are increasingly on the lookout for undervalued stocks that offer potential resilience and long-term value. In such volatile conditions, identifying stocks trading below their intrinsic value can be a prudent strategy for those seeking to capitalize on market inefficiencies while mitigating risk.
