Burford Capital's stock appears undervalued after a big legal win in a case against Argentina. But, the stock's value remains dependent on receiving payment. The new Argentine President is hesitant to pay. Asset seizures have been hard to implement successfully against Argentina in the past, as NML's experience shows.
