GFL delivered a satisfying double-digit returns of 20.99% in the most recent year Unsurprisingly, GFL surpassed the Consumer Finance industry return of 14.60%, which gives us more confidence of the company's capacity to drive earnings going forward. GFL's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish.

Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, GFL's share price is trading below the group's average. This supports the theory that GFL is potentially underpriced.
