A Look Into Technology Sector Value Stocks

The Meaning Behind 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.

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

  1. United Microelectronics UMC - P/E: 7.16
  2. Taitron Components TAIT - P/E: 6.13
  3. HP HPQ - P/E: 9.15
  4. Versus Systems VS - P/E: 0.01
  5. China Index Holdings CIH - P/E: 2.59

This quarter, United Microelectronics experienced a decrease in earnings per share, which was $0.34 in Q3 and is now $0.25. Most recently, the company reported a dividend yield of 2.28%, which has decreased by 3.06% from last quarter's yield of 5.34%.
