The ASX200 closed up 1.25% at 7777.7 points, marking its second consecutive positive session amid a volatile trading period. China’s latest inflation data, which showed the fastest rate of growth in five months, helped lift sentiment across Asian markets and positively impacted Australian sectors such as IT and Real Estate. In this context of fluctuating market conditions, identifying undervalued stocks can offer potential opportunities for investors looking to capitalize on discrepancies between market price and intrinsic value. Here are three ASX stocks currently estimated to be 18.8% to 28.8% below their intrinsic value.
Top 10 Undervalued Stocks Based On Cash Flows In Australia
Overview: Bell Financial Group Limited offers broking, online broking, corporate finance, and financial advisory services to private, institutional, and corporate clients with a market cap of A$455.46 million.

Earnings are forecast to grow at 26.9% annually, outpacing the Australian market's 12.7%.

The company has secured a new US$250 million term loan facility to support its acquisition in the ENC HPAL Project, enhancing its future cash flow potential despite current dividend sustainability concerns (6.24%).
