In recent weeks, global markets have faced pressure from rising U.S. Treasury yields, with the S&P 500 Index experiencing a decline after six consecutive weeks of gains. Amid this environment of cautious economic growth and fluctuating interest rates, investors are increasingly on the lookout for stocks that may be trading below their fair value estimates, offering potential opportunities in an otherwise volatile market landscape. Identifying undervalued stocks involves assessing companies that demonstrate strong fundamentals yet remain overlooked by the market, which could present attractive prospects for long-term growth as conditions stabilize.
