Ever wondered what the smartest investors are whispering about behind closed doors? Well, today, we’re pulling back the curtain on a hot topic in value investing clubs: undervalued stocks. While everyone else is busy chasing the latest hype, we're getting down to the fundamentals of real value stocks. So, let’s explore some of these potential gems that could be selling for less than they're truly worth.



Stock #1: Paycom Software


Let’s kick things off with Paycom Software. Full disclosure—I own shares of Paycom. I got in when the stock plummeted below $150. I picked up some shares around $140-$150, and then the stock soared. But here’s the key lesson: don’t buy a stock just because someone online says they own it. Our goal here is to teach a principle-driven investment process.


Why Paycom is Turning Heads Paycom is making waves in the software subscription space with its relentless focus on employee management solutions, particularly payroll. The big headline? Paycom holds the top market share in payroll applications, a fiercely competitive sector. They’ve achieved this by prioritizing automation and delivering a customer experience that saves both time and money.


The Numbers Tell the Story Here’s what excites value investors: in Q3, 98.5% of Paycom’s revenue was recurring. Recurring revenue is the holy grail—it’s predictable, scalable, and provides stability in any economic climate. Even if the economy takes a hit, Paycom’s proprietary Betty software, which lets employees manage their own paychecks, enhances efficiency and customer satisfaction.


Leadership Changes and Market Expansion In 2024, there were significant leadership changes, including the departure of a co-CEO and the addition of new executives. While leadership transitions can be red flags, this looks more like a strategic move to sharpen the company’s focus on automation and high-return investments.


A Financial Powerhouse Paycom generates $300 million annually in free cash flow, averaging $220 million over the past five years. Their gross profit margin? A whopping 82%. Despite the high valuation—38 times free cash flow—investors might justify paying this premium because of Paycom’s high growth potential.


Analyzing Paycom’s Value Using our stock analyzer tool, we adjusted assumptions based on current data:


  • Revenue growth: 6%, 9%, and 12%
  • Profit margin: 19%, 21.5%, and 24%
  • Free cash flow margin: 16%, 18%, and 20%
  • PE ratio and price to free cash flow: 17, 20, and 23
  • Desired return: 9%


After running the analysis, we got:


  • Low price: $107
  • High price: $264
  • Middle price: $170


Currently priced at $206, it remains on my watchlist at $150. If it drops to that level or lower, I’ll be ready to add more shares.



Stock #2: Tesla


Next up is Tesla, a company whose story feels ripped from a sci-fi novel. This isn’t just about electric cars; it’s about redefining mobility.


The Vision: Robo-Taxis Tesla aims to create a fleet of autonomous taxis powered by its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. Imagine your car earning up to $30,000 annually while you’re asleep or at work—that’s passive income on steroids. Even a small slice of the $150 billion ride-hailing market would be transformative for Tesla.


Vertical Integration: Tesla’s Secret Weapon Unlike traditional ride-hailing platforms, Tesla controls its supply chain—from battery production to vehicle design. This vertical integration allows Tesla to cut costs and potentially dominate the market.


Financial Snapshot Tesla has been a cash flow machine, generating $3.6 billion last year. However, the gap between free cash flow and net income remains a concern due to high capital expenditures.


Stock Analyzer Insights For Tesla, our analysis included:


  • Revenue growth: 7%, 17%, and 27%
  • Profit margin: 8%, 14%, and 22%
  • Free cash flow margin: 8%, 12%, and 18%
  • PE ratio: 18, 21, and 24
  • Desired return: 9%


Results:


  • Low price: $50
  • High price: $800
  • Middle price: $215


Even under optimistic assumptions, Tesla’s current valuation appears stretched. The question isn’t whether Tesla can grow, but whether the market is pricing in too much future success.



Stock #3: Molson Coors


Finally, let’s talk about Molson Coors, the fifth-largest beer company in the world. With brands ranging from Coors and Miller to Blue Moon and Peroni, they’ve diversified their product line to include premium beers, seltzers, and even energy drinks.


Revenue Distribution and Strategy About 80% of their revenue comes from the U.S. In 2019, they launched a revitalization plan focusing on higher-margin products like craft beers and seltzers. Notably, their partnership with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to enter the energy drink market is a bold move.


Financial Metrics Molson Coors generates $1.15 billion in free cash flow but carries significant debt, with an enterprise value of $24 billion. Despite this, its price-to-free cash flow ratio of 10.5x has caught the attention of value investors.


Stock Analyzer Takeaways We ran a 10-year analysis with the following assumptions:


  • Revenue growth: 0%, 2%, and 4%
  • Profit margin: 7%, 8%, and 9%
  • Free cash flow margin: 10%, 11%, and 12%
  • PE ratio: 10, 13, and 16
  • Desired return: 9%


The analysis showed:


  • Low price: $57
  • High price: $115
  • Middle price: $82


At a current price of $58, Molson Coors offers a potential 14.5% return, making it an intriguing option for value investors.
