Eighteen months ago, I decided that JD Sports Fashion (LSE: JD) was the FTSE 100 growth share most likely to smash the market. So I filled my boots. What used to be a rocket ship had fallen back to earth, as the cost-of-living crisis hit shoppers and inflation drove up the cost of labour and materials. The trainer specialist was taking a kicking from all sides. What I thought was a brilliant recovery play is currently on its knees.

Despite the recent strong FTSE 100 rally, plenty of UK stocks are still trading at bargain valuations. I’ve picked out three that are flying but look cheap. Should investors consider buying them today? The first that springs to mind is Barclays (LSE: BARC). Its share price is up 51% over 12 months, and almost 175% over five years. I’d expect a stock with that profile to be expensive as a result, but Barclays has a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of just 9.11.
