Alpha IVF: Has the market become too focused on short-term expansion costs and missed the longer-term value?

Alpha IVF Group Berhad is starting to look like one of those healthcare counters where the market may be undervaluing the business in P/E terms by focusing too much on near-term margin pressure and not enough on its medium-term earnings power. At current valuation levels, the stock does not appear excessively demanding for a company that is still profitable, generates strong returns, and is expanding its footprint across Southeast Asia.
