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.

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

1. Smith & Wesson Brands (NASDAQ:SWBI) - P/E: 3.3
2. Costamare (NYSE:CMRE) - P/E: 2.73
3. Insteel Indus (NYSE:IIIN) - P/E: 4.3
4. Schneider National (NYSE:SNDR) - P/E: 8.45
5. Mega Matrix (AMEX:MTMT) - P/E: 0.46

Smith & Wesson Brands saw an increase in earnings per share from 0.69 in Q3 to $0.82 now. Its most recent dividend yield is at 3.05%, which has increased by 1.28% from 1.77% in the previous quarter.

Costamare has reported Q2 earnings per share at $0.95, which has increased by 13.1% compared to Q1, which was 0.84. The company's most recent dividend yield sits at 3.8%, which has increased by 1.1% from 2.7% last quarter.

Insteel Indus saw a decrease in earnings per share from 1.99 in Q2 to $1.96 now. Most recently, the company reported a dividend yield of 0.4%, which has increased by 0.1% from last quarter's yield of 0.3%.

This quarter, Schneider National experienced an increase in earnings per share, which was $0.57 in Q1 and is now $0.72. Its most recent dividend yield is at 1.33%, which has decreased by 0.08% from 1.41% in the previous quarter.

The Significance: A value stock may need some time to rebound from its undervalued position. The risk of investing in a value stock is that this emergence may never materialize.
