Yahoo Finance June Undervalued Real Estate Stock Picks
Performance in the real estate sector generally tracks the economic cycle. During periods of high growth and inflation, real estate investments usually post strong returns. However, during an economic bust, these investments tend to underperform. Currently, Pan Hong Holdings Group and OUE Commercial Real Estate Investment Trust are real estate companies I’ve identified as potentially undervalued, meaning their share price is below what these companies are actually worth. Investors can profit from the difference by investing in these cyclical stocks as the current market prices should eventually move towards their true values. If capital gains are what you’re after in your next investment, I’ve put together a list of undervalued stocks you may be interested in, based on the latest financial data from each company.
