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. <\/p>\n
Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use tried-and-true metrics and fundamental analysis to find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels. <\/p>\n
Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system’s “Value” category. Stocks with both “A” grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now. <\/p>\n
One stock to keep an eye on is Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY). DTEGY is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with P\/E ratio of 13.19 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P\/E of 14.51. Over the last 12 months, DTEGY’s Forward P\/E has been as high as 17.39 and as low as 13.19, with a median of 14.75. <\/p>\n
Investors should also note that DTEGY holds a PEG ratio of 1.29. 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. DTEGY’s PEG compares to its industry’s average PEG of 1.42. Over the last 12 months, DTEGY’s PEG has been as high as 1.48 and as low as 0.95, with a median of 1.35. <\/p>\n
We should also highlight that DTEGY has a P\/B ratio of 1.67. Investors use the P\/B ratio to look at a stock’s market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This company’s current P\/B looks solid when compared to its industry’s average P\/B of 2.04. Over the past 12 months, DTEGY’s P\/B has been as high as 1.88 and as low as 1.39, with a median of 1.69. <\/p>\n
Value investors also love the P\/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock’s price with the company’s sales. Some people prefer this metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement. This means it could be a truer performance indicator. DTEGY has a P\/S ratio of 1.14. This compares to its industry’s average P\/S of 1.21. <\/p>\n
Finally, we should also recognize that DTEGY has a P\/CF ratio of 4.13. This metric takes into account a company’s operating cash flow and can be used to find stocks that are undervalued based on their solid cash outlook. This stock’s P\/CF looks attractive against its industry’s average P\/CF of 5.43. Over the past year, DTEGY’s P\/CF has been as high as 4.93 and as low as 3.86, with a median of 4.53. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20989],"tags":[11785,23284,22516,22515],"class_list":["post-70533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-deutsche-telekom","tag-deutsche-telekom","tag-peg-ratio","tag-value-investing","tag-zacks-rank"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
