How Café de la Bourse selected these 5 cheap stocks with strong rebound potential in the stock market in 2026?

Banking, insurance, and asset management companies were deliberately excluded, because the majority of their assets are financial in origin, in order to privilege tangible assets (such as industrial equipment, real estate, inventories, etc.).

Additionally, we excluded companies with micro-capitalizations (below €300 million) and selected those that have posted positive profits in each of the last 5 years.

We also considered a stock to be discounted based on its market capitalization ratio (number of shares outstanding × stock price) divided by its net asset value (sum of assets: what the company owns less its liabilities, what the company owes).

Discount ratio = (number of shares outstanding X stock price of the share OR market capitalization) / tangible net asset value

In other words, it is about comparing the net asset value for the shareholder (net asset value according to the company’s official accounts) to its market price (market capitalization). This ratio can also be calculated per share: you would then divide the net asset value by the number of shares outstanding.
