As global markets navigate a mixed start to the new year, with U.S. stocks experiencing both gains and declines and notable economic indicators like the Chicago PMI showing contraction, investors are keenly observing opportunities for value amidst volatility. In such an environment, identifying undervalued stocks can be particularly appealing as these equities may offer potential for growth when broader market conditions stabilize or improve.
