beaten down shares

Due to the market crash in March, a number of shares are trading significantly lower than their 52-week highs.

While not all shares are necessarily bargain buys, a few which I think could be great value are listed below. Here's why I like them at these levels:

The Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL) share price is down 29% from its 52-week high. This has left the gaming technology company's shares trading at 21x estimated FY 2021 earnings. I think this makes them great value based on its long term growth prospects. Aristocrat Leisure appears well-positioned to deliver strong earnings growth over the next decade thanks to its leading pokie machine business and fast-growing digital business. The latter is generating significant recurring revenues from its millions of daily active users.

The Clover Corporation Limited (ASX: CLV) share price has lost a third of its value since peaking at $3.31. This has brought the shares of the infant formula ingredients producer down to an estimated 27x FY 2021 earnings. While this is still a notable premium to the market average, I believe it is a good price to pay for a company with such strong growth potential. Clover's business looks well-placed to benefit from increasing demand for infant formula and favourable changes to ingredient requirements in a number of key markets.

The Sydney Airport Holdings Pty Ltd (ASX: SYD) share price is trading 33% below its 52-week high. Investors have been selling the airport operator's shares after the coronavirus pandemic made its terminals a ghost town. And while it will take time for passenger numbers to recover fully, it will inevitably come in time. I think this makes it well worth taking advantage of this share price weakness by making a patient long-term investment.
