Image source: Getty Images I’m constantly on the hunt for the best share to buy, but now I’m wondering whether I already own it. The stock is Costain Group (LSE: COST), which I snapped up on 29 November 2023 for 60p. Its shares jumped almost 9% this morning (June 16) after another upbeat statement. The price now sits at 141p.

Here’s the cheapest of them… A dirt-cheap stock The stock with the lowest valuation in my portfolio today (by a wide margin) is JD Sports Fashion (LSE: JD.).

That said, GSK highlighted in its 30 April Q1 results that it has identified options to mitigate any supply chain risks. Also negatively affecting the share price has been litigation connected to the alleged side effects of its Zantac drug. The firm agreed last October to pay…

It could be that the underlying business is just worth less than it was before. However, it might be that the market has failed to fully factor into the share price the true value of the business.
