Image source: Getty Images Finding cheap value shares isn’t easy. Just because a stock is falling doesn’t always mean that it represents a good buying opportunity. However, I have a filter that flags up stocks that are close to (or are at) 52-week lows. From there, I can then assess whether the move is warranted or if it’s becoming undervalued. Here are two on the radar right now. Demand from easing monetary policy The first one is Marshalls (LSE:MSLH). Last week, the stock hit the lowest level in a year at 229p.

Image source: Getty Images The past two months haven’t been kind to US growth stocks, as trade tariff turmoil sent many into freefall. Automakers and banks were among the worst hit, with Chrysler owner Stellantis losing 10% in a single day in March. Now analysts are eyeing a recovery following news that the Trump administration may ease tariffs this week. The result could be great news for stocks that had a tough start to the year and are now trading at a discount. For UK investors looking to add some diversity to their ISA this April, here are two promising…

Image source: Getty Images Typically, when a stock rallies hard over the space of a year or more, it has the potential to become overvalued. So when some investors see the 67% jump in the Barclays (LSE:BARC) share price over the last year, some might discount it as a viable investment. However, this isn’t always the case! Reasons for the rally Barclays did well in 2024, and has been outperforming ever since the Bank of England base rate started to rise to deal with the post-pandemic-induced inflation bump. To begin with, rising interest rates helped to increase the net interest…
As corporate collapses continue to catch stakeholders off guard, analysts face growing pressure to dig deeper than traditional audits allow. The limitations of standard financial reporting — especially in identifying “going concern” risks — have exposed systemic blind spots in evaluating a company’s true financial stability. For those involved in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), private equity (PE), or strategic planning, Quality of Earnings (QofE) analysis has become an indispensable tool. It helps surface red flags, validate financial performance, and provide a more reliable foundation for investment decisions. In this post, I will highlight why this topic is important and detail…

(Bloomberg) — UK inflation unexpectedly cooled, strengthening the case for the Bank of England to cut interest rates again in May and providing a morale boost for Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves ahead of a key economic statement Wednesday. Most Read from Bloomberg Consumer prices climbed 2.8% in February from a year earlier, slowing from 3% the previous month, the Office for National Statistics said.

Image source: Getty Images The deadline to shelter up to £20k in a Stocks and Shares ISA is fast approaching. For long-term investors, I think these two very different investment trusts are worth a look for anyone aiming to invest some ISA money soon. Value and dividends First up is BlackRock World Mining Trust (LSE: BRWM), which pretty much does what it says on the tin (pun intended).
