We recently published a list of 13 Most Undervalued NASDAQ Stocks To Buy According To Hedge Funds. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) stands against other most undervalued NASDAQ stocks to buy according to hedge funds.
The NASDAQ Index closed more than 10% below its December high of 20,174 on March 6, 2025. This officially puts the index in a market correction – which has happened a dozen times since 2010. Historically, the index has delivered an average return of 21% in the 12 months following its first close in correction territory, compared to an annual average of 15% over the entire period. This suggests that past corrections have often been followed by above average gains. Meanwhile, proposed tariffs under the Trump administration could significantly affect trade. As of February 27, 2025, these tariffs were set to raise the average tax on US imports to 13.8%, which is the highest level since 1939. Some duties are already in effect, shaking up the stock market.
Adding to market uncertainty is the current government’s inconsistent trade policy. Initially, tariffs were set to take effect on Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican imports on February 4. However, duties on Canadian and Mexican goods were postponed until March 4, then further adjusted on March 6, granting exemptions until April 2 for goods complying with the free trade agreement. These back-and-forth policy changes have contributed to market volatility. Despite the uncertainty, history shows that the NASDAQ has recovered from every past correction, suggesting this pullback could present a buying opportunity for investors.
Understandably, the market has seen considerable movement this year, influenced by earnings reports, concerns over DeepSeek, and uncertainty around President Trump’s tariff policies. With rising volatility, investors should focus on fundamentals, take a long-term approach, and carefully evaluate valuations. As of February 28, 2025, the US stock market was trading about 1% below fair value. Morningstar’s 2025 US Market Outlook suggests that the market was approaching the upper end of its fair value range, noting investors should set realistic expectations for returns. Morningstar advised favoring value stocks over growth stocks, as growth stocks were priced at their highest premium since the 2021 tech boom, while value stocks remained undervalued. In a market where economic policies can quickly shift valuations, portfolio positioning is crucial. Regardless of short-term tariff impacts, investors should focus on stocks trading well below their long-term value while being cautious with overvalued ones.
In a turbulent market where growth stocks are tumbling and value stocks have gained, sector valuations are starting to balance out. Healthcare, real estate, and basic materials, which were undervalued at the start of 2025, have moved closer to fair value. Meanwhile, consumer cyclical stocks, previously the most overvalued, have now dropped to fair value. Some sectors have moved differently, like communication services becoming more undervalued, while consumer defensive stocks have continued to rise and are now the most overvalued, trading at a 17% premium.
