Who doesn’t like undervalued stocks or ETFs? In fact, investors hunt for stocks with a low P/E or undervalued- ones especially when the market is buoyant, as we are witnessing now.Many market watchers are warning of a bust in the near term. This is where the search for value stocks or ETFs with typically low P/E ratios starts. The lower the P/E of a security, the better for a value investor. This is because value investors believe that the security's current market price is not reflective of its historical/future earnings and therefore chances of outperformance are higher.Naturally, there are very few investors who pay attention to securities with an increasing or high P/E. But this often-overlooked trend can prove worthwhile in finding great stocks or ETFs. Let’s dig a little deeper.Rising or High P/E: An Useful Tool TooInvestors should note that stock prices move in tandem with earnings performance. If earnings come in stronger, the price of a stock shoots up. Solid quarterly earnings and the forward guidance in turn boost earnings forecasts, leading to stronger demand for the stock and an uptrend in its price.So, if share price is rising steadily, it means that investors are assured of the security’s fundamental strength and expect some more strong positives out of it. When these outperforming stocks or a sector makes a fund, that basket too boasts a high P/E but has further room to run.ETFs to Tap at High P/E for Further GainsBelow we highlight a few ETFs with a high P/E (much higher than the S&P-based ETF SPY’s P/E of 18.67 times) that are still top ranked.
