Valuation & Buy Levels 30/04/2025

Stocks had one of the most severe declines in years, driven by macroeconomic shocks and policy uncertainties, such as aggressive tariff announcements.

The S&P 500 has shown signs of a daily uptrend, but it’s far too early to call a bottom—whether the April lows hold will depend on broader economic clarity and corporate earnings resilience.

Even high-quality stocks, those with strong balance sheets and durable competitive advantages, weren’t spared, with many dropping significantly. This, however, is where opportunity lies: market corrections allow disciplined investors to acquire shares of exceptional companies at discounted valuations.

History bears this out—great businesses, when bought at reasonable prices during periods of fear, tend to recover and resume their long-term growth trend.

That said, wisdom demands patience and selectivity.

Not every dip is a bargain, and macroeconomic risks, like persistent inflation or a potential trade war, could prolong volatility. Focus on companies with proven cash flows, adaptable management, and exposure to secular growth trends, and avoid the temptation to overpay for momentum or speculate on unproven names.

Thats what you’ll find in the Top Stocks Vault.

My Portfolio Strategy: Buy Quality, Stay Patient

I’ve navigated multiple bear markets and corrections, and each time, my portfolio has emerged stronger. My approach is simple:
✅ Buy high-quality stocks whenever they are undervalued.
✅ Hold for the long term, allowing them to compound wealth over time.

To execute this strategy effectively, you need to determine:
1️⃣ Is this a high-quality business?
2️⃣ Is it trading at an attractive valuation?
