Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
Of these, value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. Value investors use tried-and-true metrics and fundamental analysis to find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
On top of the Zacks Rank, investors can also look at our innovative Style Scores system to find stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will want to focus on the "Value" category. Stocks with high Zacks Ranks and "A" grades for Value will be some of the highest-quality value stocks on the market today.
America Movil, S.A.B. de C.V. Unsponsored ADR (AMX) is a stock many investors are watching right now. AMX is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and an A for Value.
Value investors also use the P/S ratio. The P/S ratio is calculated as price divided by sales. Some people prefer this metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement. This means it could be a truer performance indicator. AMX has a P/S ratio of 1.48. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.49.
Finally, our model also underscores that AMX has a P/CF ratio of 4.03. This metric takes into account a company's operating cash flow and can be used to find stocks that are undervalued based on their solid cash outlook. This stock's P/CF looks attractive against its industry's average P/CF of 4.43. Over the past year, AMX's P/CF has been as high as 11.56 and as low as 3.39, with a median of 4.99.
Investors could also keep in mind SK Telecom Co. (SKM), another Wireless Non-US stock with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and Value grade of A.
SK Telecom Co. is trading at a forward earnings multiple of 11.10 at the moment, with a PEG ratio of 5.94. This compares to its industry's average P/E of 12.28 and average PEG ratio of 0.62.
SKM's price-to-earnings ratio has been as high as 11.82 and as low as 8.35, with a median of 9.75, while its PEG ratio has been as high as 7.96 and as low as 1.13, with a median of 2.06, all within the past year.
Additionally, SK Telecom Co. has a P/B ratio of 1.03 while its industry's price-to-book ratio sits at 1.41. For SKM, this valuation metric has been as high as 1.12, as low as 0.94, with a median of 1.02 over the past year.
These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that America Movil, S.A.B. de C.V. Unsponsored ADR and SK Telecom Co. are likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, AMX and SKM feels like a great value stock at the moment.
