What's The Opportunity In Unisys?

According to my valuation model, Unisys seems to be fairly priced at around 10% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Unisys today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $9.87, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing.
