Overview Of Value Stocks In The Financial Services 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.

Benzinga Insights has compiled a list of value stocks in the financial services sector that may be worth watching:

  3. Credicorp BAP - P/E: 8.39
  4. Yiren Digital YRD - P/E: 1.28
  5. BanColombia CIB - P/E: 3.92

Citigroup has reported Q1 earnings per share at $2.19, which has increased by 88.79% compared to Q4, which was 1.16. Its most recent dividend yield is at 4.35%, which has increased by 0.12% from 4.23% in the previous quarter.
