The U.S. stock market has recently experienced its best week of 2024, with major indexes such as the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average posting impressive gains. This surge in optimism is fueled by renewed confidence in the economy and expectations that the Federal Reserve may soon cut interest rates. In this favorable market environment, identifying undervalued stocks becomes crucial for investors looking to capitalize on potential growth opportunities. Among these are Cadence Design Systems and two other stocks that are estimated to be trading below their intrinsic value.
