5 Hidden Value Strong-Buy Stocks

Welcome to Episode #212 of the Value Investor Podcast

Every week, Tracey Ryniec, the editor of Zacks Value Investor portfolio, shares some of her top value investing tips and stock picks.

Many investors think that with growth stocks soaring, there’s simply no value stocks. They think that everything is overvalued or “expensive.”

But value stocks are still alive and well.

And they’re being ignored by the Street.

Screening for Cheap Strong Buy Stocks

The top Zacks Rank is the #1 (Strong Buy). Currently, there are just 241 Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks.

The Zacks Rank can change daily. It’s based on analyst earnings estimate revisions. During earnings season, it sees a lot of shifts.

But if you screen with the Zacks Rank, it can uncover companies that are seeing an increase in their consensus estimate which can indicate something positive is going on at that company.

For value, you can add any of the common value fundamentals. In this case, those would be the P/E ratio under 15 and the P/S ratio under 1.0.

Running that screen, it returned 56 stocks.
