5 Value Stocks To Watch In The Consumer Defensive Sector

Author: Benzinga Insights | November 10, 2023 10:40am

The Meaning Behind 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.

  4. iHuman (NYSE:IH) - P/E: 6.1
  5. Ingles Markets (NASDAQ:IMKTA) - P/E: 6.61
