Amid a backdrop of global market fluctuations and heightened trade tensions, the Hong Kong stock market has experienced its own set of challenges, with the Hang Seng Index retreating significantly. This environment may present opportunities for investors to identify stocks that are potentially undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. In such times, discerning investors often look for companies with solid fundamentals that appear underpriced by the market—stocks that could represent value in an otherwise turbulent investing landscape.
