The Hong Kong market has experienced a notable decline, with the Hang Seng Index retreating by 2.28% amidst broader economic challenges and unexpected rate cuts by the People’s Bank of China. In this environment, identifying undervalued stocks becomes crucial for investors seeking opportunities that may offer significant upside potential once market conditions stabilize. Understanding what makes a stock undervalued involves analyzing factors such as price-to-earnings ratios, book value comparisons, and future growth prospects relative to current valuations.
