It could be an opportunity to buy shares of some of the most exciting Automobile stocks before the rebound begins.

Fundamentals overview: GM looks substantially undervalued

General Motors stock is up 48% this year and over 128% in the last 12 months. However, the stock looks attractively valued at a P/E ratio of just 9.58. Its forward P/E of 8.68 implies more upside potential in the coming quarters.
