Adecoagro Finally Getting Its Due As The Street Wakes Up To The Story

You never know when a fundamentally undervalued situation will suddenly flip; the Street can be stubborn and seemingly illogical for frustratingly long periods of time. Whatever made investors finally reexamine Adecoagro (AGRO), I’m glad to see it, as the shares are finally reflecting more of the underlying value that I’ve seen there for a little while.
