How to find undervalued stocks before everyone else
June 6, 2026 · 5 min read
The best investments are stocks trading significantly below their true value. Here is a systematic approach to finding them.
Step 1: Check the 52 week discount
A stock trading 30 percent or more below its 52 week high might be undervalued. But it might also be declining for good reason. The discount alone is not enough.
Step 2: Check RSI
RSI below 30 confirms the stock has been oversold. Aggressive selling has pushed the price below its fundamental value. Combined with a large 52 week discount, this is a strong signal.
Step 3: Check dividend yield
If a stock pays dividends and the yield has increased significantly (because the price dropped), it might be undervalued. A stock normally paying 3 percent yield that now pays 6 percent is potentially a bargain.
Step 4: Check MACD for momentum shift
Wait for a MACD bullish crossover before buying. This confirms that selling pressure is exhausting and buyers are returning.
Step 5: Check fundamentals
Use TradewithAI fundamentals tab to check PE ratio, revenue growth, and debt levels. A stock can be cheap for a reason if the company is deteriorating.
The TradewithAI approach:
Our Undervalued and Overvalued scanner automatically finds stocks with high 52 week discounts, low RSI, and attractive valuations. Click Find Undervalued Stocks on your dashboard.
Our Swing Score combines all these factors into one number. Stocks with Score 7 plus and RSI below 35 are the strongest undervalued candidates.
Remember: undervalued does not mean safe. Always set a stop loss 5 to 10 percent below your entry. Even undervalued stocks can fall further before recovering.
