In the current global market landscape, uncertainty over the incoming U.S. administration's policies has led to fluctuations in key indices, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite experiencing notable declines. Amidst this backdrop of policy-driven volatility and shifting economic indicators, investors are increasingly on the lookout for stocks that can offer potential growth opportunities while navigating these complex conditions. When seeking undiscovered gems for portfolio growth, it's essential to focus on companies with strong fundamentals and resilience in challenging environments.
Overview: PSG Corporation Public Company Limited, along with its subsidiary PSGC (Lao) Sole Company Limited, operates in turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) as well as large-scale construction projects in Thailand and Laos, with a market cap of THB32.50 billion.
Operations: PSG generates revenue primarily from plant and building construction, totaling THB4.62 billion.
PSG Corporation, a nimble player in the construction sector, has shown impressive earnings growth of 217.9% over the past year, outpacing its industry's -17.7%. Despite a volatile share price recently, PSG remains debt-free with no debt compared to five years ago when its debt-to-equity ratio stood at 4.3%. The company reported third-quarter sales of THB 726 million and revenue of THB 730.37 million, though net income fell to THB 12.79 million from THB 116.72 million a year earlier. With positive free cash flow and high-quality non-cash earnings, PSG offers intriguing potential amidst market fluctuations.
Overview: Voxel S.A. operates a network of diagnostic imaging laboratories in Poland with a market cap of PLN 1.28 billion.

Voxel's financials reflect a robust trajectory, with earnings growing 24.7% annually over the past five years, although recent growth of 45.1% didn't surpass the healthcare sector's pace.
