A Look Into Financial Services Sector Value Stocks

Author: Benzinga Insights | August 26, 2021 09:47am

What are Value Stocks?

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 financial services sector:

  1. FS KKR Capital (NYSE:FSK) - P/E: 2.18

  4. First National (NASDAQ:FXNC) - P/E: 9.71
  5. ING Groep (NYSE:ING) - P/E: 9.13
