I am looking for businesses trading at a discount to intrinsic value where management is actively working to close that gap. Helix Energy Solutions seems to fit this framework. The company operates specialized vessels that provide offshore oil producers with services such as production enhancement, well decommissioning, support for offshore renewable projects, and related activities. At current levels, the stock embeds a meaningful margin of safety.

One area of bargain hunting I focus on is out-of-favor industries. Right now, homebuilders fall into that category due to widespread concerns about housing affordability. In this post, I highlight one such company where I believe the current market price likely understates the business's value to a private owner.
