Value Investing Strategy Explained
A fundamental value investing approach focuses on purchasing stocks at a substantial discount to their estimated intrinsic value. This strategy identifies companies facing temporary setbacks or industry challenges that have led to excessive pessimism from investors. By prioritizing businesses with strong balance sheets, investors can weather downturns and capitalize on opportunities over a three to five-year horizon. As a result, even in a market perceived as overvalued, there are many undervalued companies that remain overlooked.
