Do you consider yourself a value investor?
If you believe that stocks occasionally trade above and below their fair value, and that profits can be made by correctly predicting this, your answer may be yes.
In the never-ending search for potentially undervalued stocks, we present an idea of how to look for these underpriced names.
Focusing on the tech sector, we ran a screen on about 500 U.S.-traded tech stocks for those trading at the most significant discounts to mean analyst target prices.
Of course, analyst prices tend to be inflated most of the time, so we ran a screen that used the most pessimistic analyst target price as the benchmark for our analysis.
In addition, we only focused on companies that have more than five analysts' target prices (to make sure we only focus on companies that have decent analyst coverage).
Do you think these stocks will meet their analyst targets?
