Overview Of Value Stocks In The Consumer Cyclical Sector

What are Value Stocks?

A value stock is traditionally defined in terms of how investors in the marketplace are valuing that company's future growth prospects. Low P/E multiples are good base indicators that the company is undervalued and can most likely be labelled as a value stock.

The following stocks are considered to be notable value stocks in the consumer cyclical sector:

1. MarineMax HZO - P/E: 5.19
2. M/I Homes MHO - P/E: 3.4
3. Abercrombie & Fitch ANF - P/E: 8.6
4. Century Communities CCS - P/E: 3.5
5. Dixie Gr DXYN - P/E: 8.75

M/I Homes's earnings per share for Q1 sits at $3.16, whereas in Q4, they were at 3.83. Abercrombie & Fitch saw an increase in earnings per share from 0.86 in Q3 to $1.14 now. The company's most recent dividend yield sits at 1.94%, which has decreased by 2.94% from 4.88% last quarter.
