In this article, we will look at the 10 Most Undervalued Blue Chip Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds.
On July 24, Emily Roland, Manulife John Hancock Investments co-chief investment strategist, appeared on CNBC’s ‘Power Lunch’ to talk about why it is now time to make profits from equity investments, where to invest money, and more.
She stated that the market right now is finding opportunities where there is an intersection of solid technical trends. According to her, momentum has by far been the best-performing factor this year. However, it is essential to combine that with quality, which entails looking for stocks that have a great return on equity, good free cash flows, and the ability to maintain margins in times of pressure.

That is thus leading her to be overweight in sectors like tech, communication services, healthcare, and utilities. Roland further stated that markets are at an all-time high, and this is an opportune time to take profits in the riskier corners of the market. It is therefore prudent to redeploy assets into high-quality stocks that can ward off margin pressure.
With these market trends in view, let’s look at the most undervalued blue chip stocks to buy according to hedge funds.
