Security selling below its Liquidation value or the Market Value analysts believe it deserves. A company's stock may be undervalued because the industry is out of favor, because the company is not well known or has an erratic history of earnings, or for many other reasons. Fundamental analysts try to spot companies that are undervalued so their clients can buy before the stocks become Fully Valued. Undervalued companies are also frequently targets of Takeover attempts, since acquirers can buy assets cheaply this way. See also Fundamental Analysis.
