Investing.com - Tuesday's session sees a positive wave coursing through the main European Indices, with the FTSE100 displaying signs of a comeback after its dip post-European elections.

As we step into mid-June, it appears apt to scrutinise the performance of some FTSE100 constituents. Taking a closer look at its blue-chip stocks, we've uncovered some hidden gems worth your attention. The common strand between them all? They're undervalued stocks.

What is an Undervalued Stock?

An undervalued stock is one whose current trading value is less than its intrinsic worth. This means that the existing share price is believed to be less than the value derived from its fundamental assets, earnings, growth potential, or even cash flows.

This undervaluation may result from various factors including market volatility, economic circumstances, changes in investor sentiment, or negative news circulating around the company or its industry.

Devotees of a value-investing strategy often hunt down such stocks, betting on the market eventually recognising and mirroring the company's true intrinsic value. However, flagging undervalued stocks necessitates a detailed analysis, which includes assessing financial fundamentals, industry standing, market conditions, and future business forecasts.

Of course, it's important to remember that investing in undervalued stocks, like all investment strategies, carries risk. Prior to making any investment decisions, always carefully weigh up your financial objectives and risk appetite.
