A Look Into Technology Sector Value Stocks

The Meaning Behind Value Stocks

A value stock traditionally has a lower price when compared to stock prices of companies in the same industry. This indicates that the company may be undervalued, as investors are not expressing as much interest in such companies. The most commonly used way to check for value is with the price-to-earnings multiple, or P/E. A low P/E multiple is a good indication that the stock is undervalued.

Below is a list of notable value stocks in the technology sector:

  1. WidePoint WYY - P/E: 4.85
  2. Quhuo QH - P/E: 6.5
  3. China Index Holdings CIH - P/E: 3.01
  4. Himax Technologies HIMX - P/E: 9.38
  5. Agora API - P/E: 1.52

WidePoint's earnings per share for Q2 sits at -0.02, whereas in Q1, they were at 0.06. WidePoint does not have a dividend yield, which investors should be aware of when considering holding onto such a stock.
