How to Find the Best Small-Cap Value Stocks
Welcome to Episode #251 of the Value Investor Podcast.
Every week, Tracey Ryniec, the editor of Zacks Value Investor portfolio, shares some of her top value investing tips and stock picks.
With small cap stocks weak over the last 3 months, now may be the perfect time to create a watch list of top small cap value stocks.
Small cap value has historically been the best performing asset class. Growth has gotten all the glory the past 5 years, but small cap value has still seen its share of rallies over that time period.
With so many small caps now cheap, why not check for some buying opportunities?
Screening for Small Cap Value
Zacks.com has predefined screens in its screening tools which includes screens based on market cap.
There is a screen called "Small Caps with Big Growth" which includes stocks with both growth but that also have low valuations.
It uses a price-to-sales ratio under 1.0, which indicates value, to weed out the low valuation stocks.
But it also combined it with a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy), a share price over $5, average volume over 100,000 shares, and year-over-year growth over 20%.
This screen produced 29 stocks.
