Best SGX Undervalued Stocks

Undervalued companies are those that trade at a price lower than their actual values, such as Oxley Holdings and Geo Energy Resources. There’s a few ways you can measure the value of a company – you can forecast how much money it will make in the future and base your valuation off of this, or you can look around at its peers of similar size and industry to roughly estimate what it should be worth. Below, I’ve created a list of companies that compare favourably in all criteria based on their most recent financial data, making them potentially good investments.
