What are value stocks?
A value stock has traditionally been priced lower than the stock prices of companies in the same industry. This indicates that the company may be undervalued as investors are not showing that much interest in such companies. The most common way to check value is the price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E. A low P/E ratio is a good indication that the stock is undervalued.
