Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.
Considering these trends, value investing is clearly one of the most preferred ways to find strong stocks in any type of market. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.
In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with "A" grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.
One company value investors might notice is Kamada (KMDA). KMDA is currently holding a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with P/E ratio of 16.85 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P/E of 40.22. KMDA's Forward P/E has been as high as 26.70 and as low as 16.67, with a median of 20.60, all within the past year.
KMDA is also sporting a PEG ratio of 0.67. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. KMDA's industry has an average PEG of 1.87 right now. KMDA's PEG has been as high as 1.04 and as low as 0.67, with a median of 0.86, all within the past year.
Another notable valuation metric for KMDA is its P/B ratio of 1.53. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. KMDA's current P/B looks attractive when compared to its industry's average P/B of 3.61. Over the past 12 months, KMDA's P/B has been as high as 1.85 and as low as 1.16, with a median of 1.53.
These are only a few of the key metrics included in Kamada's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, KMDA looks like an impressive value stock at the moment.
