Overview: Ansell Limited is a global company that designs, sources, develops, manufactures, distributes, and sells hand and body protection solutions across various regions including the Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and North America with a market cap of A$4.55 billion.

Ansell is trading at A$31.43, significantly below its estimated fair value of A$57.95, indicating potential undervaluation based on cash flows. Despite a forecasted revenue growth of 6.7% per year and earnings expected to rise by 22.5% annually, recent financial results show a decline in profit margins and net income due to large one-off items.
