The definition of an undervalued stock may seem obvious — it’s a stock that is undervalued. This doesn’t necessarily mean these stocks are inexpensive though. As an example, you could buy a brand new Ferrari Roma for $150,000; that would be undervalued, but certainly not inexpensive!
There’s a lot to finding these stocks, though. Value investing, perhaps more than any other type of investing, is more concerned with the fundamentals of a company’s business than its stock price or market factors affecting its price.

Often, an undervalued stock will have strong sales and/or earnings growth, and the market either doesn’t fully understand or appreciate the product yet or has punished the stock for an embarrassing headline that doesn’t truly affect the company’s long-term growth trajectory.
