Global markets have recently experienced significant movements, with U.S. stocks reaching record highs driven by optimism around China's stimulus measures and advancements in artificial intelligence. As these developments unfold, the search for undervalued stocks becomes increasingly pertinent. In this context, identifying stocks that are trading below their intrinsic value can offer potential opportunities for investors looking to capitalize on market inefficiencies. Here are three such stocks that might be undervalued: Alibaba Health Information Technology and two others worth considering.

Alibaba Health Information Technology is trading at HK$5.35, significantly below its estimated fair value of HK$10.01, indicating it may be undervalued based on cash flows. Earnings grew by 64.9% over the past year and are forecast to grow 24.17% annually, outpacing the Hong Kong market's expected growth of 12%. However, shareholders have experienced dilution recently, and return on equity is forecast to remain low at 14.1% in three years.
