Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
Of these, value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.
In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with "A" grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.
One company value investors might notice is EDENRED (EDNMY). EDNMY is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy), as well as an A grade for Value. The stock is trading with a P/E ratio of 10.45, which compares to its industry's average of 22.21. Over the past 52 weeks, EDNMY's Forward P/E has been as high as 21.86 and as low as 10.45, with a median of 14.37.
Investors will also notice that EDNMY has a PEG ratio of 1.13. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. EDNMY's PEG compares to its industry's average PEG of 1.15. Within the past year, EDNMY's PEG has been as high as 1.42 and as low as 0.54, with a median of 0.69.
