In the context of financial markets, undervalued stocks are defined as shares that are selling at a price that is much lower than what they are supposed to be worth based on their intrinsic value. An investment that has an undervalued stock has an intrinsic value that is lower than the true intrinsic value of the investment.
An undervalued stock is one that is trading below the assumed value or the price at which it was issued. As a result, the stock market hasn’t actually been recognizing the long-term growth potential of these companies yet, despite their record of profitability and potential for long-term growth.
