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.

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

1. CalciMedica (NASDAQ:CALC) - P/E: 0.07
2. Quoin Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:QNRX) - P/E: 2.62
3. SCYNEXIS (NASDAQ:SCYX) - P/E: 1.26
4. Syros Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SYRS) - P/E: 8.08
5. Organon (NYSE:OGN) - P/E: 7.34

CalciMedica's earnings per share for Q3 sits at $-0.82, whereas in Q2, they were at -1.11. Quoin Pharmaceuticals's earnings per share for Q3 sits at $-1.95, whereas in Q2, they were at -2.13.

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.
