What is a Value Stock?

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.

  1. Graphite Bio GRPH - P/E: 0.71

  3. Aerovate Therapeutics AVTE - P/E: 0.66
  4. Day One Biopharmaceutical DAWN - P/E: 4.68
  5. Tempest Therapeutics TPST - P/E: 0.32
