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.

1. Lument Finance Trust (NYSE:LFT) - P/E: 9.7
2. AFC Gamma (NASDAQ:AFCG) - P/E: 7.32
3. Ready Capital (NYSE:RC) - P/E: 3.94
4. Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE:ABR) - P/E: 7.41
5. Corporacion Inmobiliaria (NYSE:VTMX) - P/E: 9.64
