Asked:

“Which company is heavily undervalued? For the companies list their P/E, try to quantify their current momentum and if available the ROIC and expected earnings for the next quarters.”

A comparative screen, accessed 2026-09-01, of the six stocks in Morningstar’s 2026-08-14 article “6 Undervalued Stocks That Crushed Earnings”: fair-value discount (%), trailing and forward P/E, ROIC (%), one-year total return (%), and consensus EPS estimates for the upcoming quarter and the current and next fiscal years. It is a screen of these six names, not the whole market.

KMX has the deepest discount, 39%, yet a thin 1.03% ROIC and a −16.6% year — the market disagrees with the fair value, not confirms it. morningstar.com

SNY is the only name with positive ROIC (8.25%) and the cheapest forward P/E here at 8.33 — the strongest valuation-plus-returns combination of the six. iocharts.io

ALB is up 178.3% in a year while still marked 36% undervalued — extreme momentum that can mean the fair-value reference has gone stale. financecharts.com

IONS has no meaningful P/E and negative EPS estimates (−2.69 improving to −0.61), so its 33% discount rests entirely on the analyst model, not earnings. finance.yahoo.com

Read with care. A fair-value discount is one analyst team’s estimate, not guaranteed upside. Extreme positive momentum (ALB, IONS) can mean the valuation reference is stale or the risk profile has shifted. A low P/E should be checked against earnings quality, debt, cyclicality and capital intensity. Blank trailing P/E means unavailable or not meaningful because GAAP earnings are negative or unstable — blanks are left blank, never zeroed. This is not personalized financial advice.
