These five stocks are currently trading at a discount to their book value, meaning they are fundamentally cheaper. Let's count down from number five to number one. Bengal and Assam it is at a 0.9 book value. A diversified player still trading below its value. Jammu and Kashmir bank and Union bank of India 0.9x on the book value. Strong regional presence with a PSU support still undervalued. Bank of Baroda and ONGC 0.8x its book value. An oil giant and a banking jet both available at a discount rate. Combo, right? It's like a combo. The South Indian bank which is at 0.8x its book value turnaround potential but the market is still cautious. Punjab National Bank, Central bank of India and Kannar bank which is at around 1x its book value trading very near to their book value meaning there is still margin of safety.
