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.

  3. Hello Gr MOMO - P/E: 5.19
  4. Telecom Argentina TEO - P/E: 4.79
