The Australian stock market has recently experienced a positive upswing, with the ASX200 closing at a seven-week high of 8,429 points. This rise comes amid optimism fueled by Donald Trump's "Stargate" plan for AI investment and favorable trade outcomes, particularly benefiting sectors like IT and Industrials. In this environment, identifying stocks that may be trading below their estimated value can offer potential opportunities for investors looking to capitalize on market inefficiencies.
