In recent weeks, global markets have experienced a mix of cautious optimism and volatility, driven by geopolitical tensions, tariff concerns, and fluctuating consumer spending patterns. As major indices show signs of strain amid these economic pressures, investors are increasingly looking for opportunities in undervalued stocks that could offer potential value despite the broader market challenges. In such an environment, identifying stocks trading below their intrinsic worth can be a strategic move for those seeking to capitalize on market inefficiencies.
