In this article, we will look at the 14 Best Undervalued Stocks to Buy Under $50.
On November 5, Torsten Slok, Apollo Global Management’s chief economist, appeared on CNBC’s ‘Power Lunch’ to talk about reading the current market’s concentration.
He stated that since the beginning of the year, the market has been very bifurcated, not just in terms of performance but also in terms of earnings and profit margins. The 2025 EPS consensus estimates for the Mag 7 have gone up since earlier this year, but the same have been going down for the S&P 493, with the chart for 2026 showing a similar picture.
This, according to Slok, shows that the market has come to the conclusion that in saying that earnings have been revised higher for the S&P 500, the primary contributor is the Mag 7 stock group, and not the S&P 493. Profit margins are following a similar trend, having been revised up for the Mag 7, and down for S&P 493.

He further stated that the Mag 7 group has been growing in size, making up more than 40% of the total market cap in the S&P 500, which is an unusually high concentration.
The key issue with investors right now, according to Slok, is that one is not being diversified in the S&P 500 if one puts money into the index today with a focus only on the Mag 7 because they are in high concentration. This is what makes the distinction between the Mag 7 and S&P 493 so critical, especially when it comes to earnings revisions.
With these trends in view, let’s look at the best undervalued stocks to buy under $50.
