As of late September 2024, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have retreated from their recent record highs, reflecting a stalled stock market rally amid anticipation of key economic data releases. Despite this pause, investor optimism persists regarding a potential soft landing for the economy and continued interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. In such an environment, identifying undervalued stocks becomes crucial for investors seeking opportunities that may offer significant upside potential once market conditions stabilize.
