This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment or trading advice. Please ensure you understand the risks and consider your individual circumstances before trading.

Key takeaways

  • Undervalued stocks are companies trading below their fair or intrinsic value, often due to market overreaction, poor sentiment or short-term headwinds.
     

  • Singapore’s market includes quality dividend payers, REITs and blue-chip names that are often overlooked but financially sound.
     

  • You can trade undervalued stocks with CFDs on IG, using tools like technical analysis, price alerts, and watchlists. You can also invest in these stocks directly via the IG Markets Singapore app.

What is an undervalued stock?

An undervalued stock is one that trades at a price below what analysts or investors believe it’s truly worth. This difference often stems from market sentiment, not fundamentals.

For example, a company might have strong earnings, cash reserves and growth potential, but still see its share price suppressed due to:

  • Temporary sector weakness
  • Global economic uncertainty
  • Negative headlines or investor overreaction

These discrepancies can create opportunities for traders who expect the market to correct its view over time.

Common signs a stock might be undervalued
 

  • Low price-to-earnings (P/E) or price-to-book (P/B) ratio vs industry peers
  • High dividend yield relative to historical norms
  • Stable fundamentals despite falling or flat price
  • Insiders or institutions increasing their holdings

Why trade and invest in undervalued stocks in Singapore?


Singapore’s stock market (SGX) offers a unique blend of opportunities for value investors seeking long-term growth and active traders looking for short-term price movements.

From REITs and banks to transport, logistics, and industrial conglomerates, the SGX has historically been home to resilient businesses that sometimes trade below their intrinsic value.

Key reasons undervalued SGX stocks appeal to investors and traders
 

  • Stable, cash-generating companies

Many SGX-listed firms boast strong balance sheets, reliable earnings, and consistent dividend payouts. For investors, this means steady income streams; for traders, it creates predictable price floors that reduce downside risk.

  • Under-the-radar opportunities

Unlike US or Hong Kong markets, Singapore stocks often receive less analyst coverage and media attention. This limited visibility allows mispricing to persist longer, creating potential entry points for traders to exploit short-term inefficiencies and for investors to accumulate undervalued positions before the market catches up.

  • Catalysts for revaluation

Shifts in interest rates, regional demand, or economic cycles can quickly re-rate undervalued SGX stocks. Traders can benefit from sharp price movements during these catalysts, while investors can gain from long-term appreciation as fundamentals realign with valuations.

  • Diversification with regional exposure

SGX-listed companies provide access to ASEAN growth markets and global trade flows, making them attractive for portfolio diversification. Investors secure exposure to stable dividends and regional expansion, while traders capitalise on volatility tied to macroeconomic events.

Did you know?

In 2025, average daily trading in SGX-listed securities increased 21% from a year earlier, reaching roughly S$1.5 billion per day — its strongest showing since 2010.

How to identify undervalued SGX stocks

1. Use valuation metrics
 

Look for stocks trading at relatively low valuations compared to historical averages or sector peers:

  • P/E ratio: Indicates how much you’re paying per dollar of earnings
  • P/B ratio: Shows how the market values a company’s assets
  • EV/EBITDA: Useful for comparing capital-intensive firms

Remember that a low valuation alone isn’t enough. You’ll want to cross-check with other indicators.

2. Analyse fundamentals
 

Use IG’s platform tools and research to assess:

  • Revenue and profit trends
  • Cash flow strength
  • Debt levels
  • Dividend consistency
  • Competitive advantages

Stocks with strong fundamentals and stable outlooks, despite low market prices, may signal true undervaluation.

3. Monitor price action and sentiment


Pair valuation with technical analysis:

  • Look for support zones, basing patterns or breakouts from long downtrends
  • Use IG price alerts to watch for reversals or breakouts
  • Track institutional flows or insider buying

Combining fundamentals with momentum signals can help confirm potential recovery trades.

Yes., you can do so with the IG Markets Singapore app. Many Singapore-listed companies across banking, property, and industrials offer stable earnings, strong balance sheets, and regional growth potential. When valuations are low, they can be attractive long-term plays.

Are they suitable for beginners?

Sectors like real estate, financials, industrials and transport often contain undervalued stocks - especially during periods of rising rates, regional slowdown, or sector-specific pessimism.

Are undervalued stocks the same as cheap stocks?

Not necessarily. A stock might look cheap based on its price or valuation multiples but could be fairly priced if it faces serious structural issues. Undervalued stocks have strong fundamentals that the market may be overlooking.
