5 Value Stocks In The Real Estate Sector

What is a Value Stock?

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.

The following stocks are considered to be notable value stocks in the real estate sector:

  1. Jones Lang LaSalle JLL - P/E: 8.19
  2. SL Green Realty SLG - P/E: 8.7
  3. Alpine Income Prop Trust PINE - P/E: 8.96
  4. Medical Properties Trust MPW - P/E: 5.11
  5. Stratus Properties STRS - P/E: 3.39

Jones Lang LaSalle's earnings per share for Q2 sits at $4.48, whereas in Q1, they were at 3.47. Most recently, the company reported a dividend yield of 1.08%, which has increased by 0.51% from last quarter's yield of 0.57%.
