How Value Investors Can Buy Growth
Welcome to Episode #5 of the Value Investor Podcast
Every week, Zacks value stock strategist and the Editor of Zacks Value Investor portfolio service, Tracey Ryniec, talks about all things happening in the value stock universe, including her top stock picks.
This week, Tracey discusses how value investors can also invest in growth by using the PEG ratio, which combines a low P/E ratio with a company’s growth rate.
Most value investors look for PEGs under 1.0 so Tracey ran a screen on Zacks.com, while also looking for earnings growth over 10%, to find stocks. She combined it with the Zacks Rank and came up with over 100 companies.
She picked three companies she thought were the most interesting.
Value stocks with Big Growth:
1. AbbVie Inc. (ABBV - Free Report) has a PEG of 0.9.
2. Berry Plastics (BERY - Free Report) has a PEG of 0.98
3. Hawaiian Holdings has a PEG of 0.7
What makes these 3 companies Tracey’s top picks this week?
She discusses their fundamentals and growth trajectories in the podcast.
In addition to AbbVie, Tracey also discusses some of the other value and growth stocks in the drug sector and in the homebuilders, including Toll Brothers (TOL - Free Report) and Pulte (PHM - Free Report) .
