What if you could buy value stocks that also had great growth?
Does such a stock even exist?
The father of value investing, Benjamin Graham, believed it did. He was the first value investor to look for the added boost of growth when buying value stocks.
How to Screen for Value Stocks with Growth
The easiest way to find value stocks that also have growth is to use the PEG ratio.
The PEG ratio is the P/E divided by growth rate. A PEG ratio under 1.0 usually indicates that the company is undervalued but also has growth.
To narrow the screen to stocks that have rising earnings estimates, you should add the Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy).
Running this screen returned 35 stocks which have the highest Zacks Ranks, value and growth.
Crocs makes casual footwear for men, women and children. You know their shoes. Doesn’t everyone?
Crocs were hot during the pandemic. Analysts expect revenue to rise another 20% in 2022.
Earnings are expected to rise 30% to $9.87 from $7.59 in 2021.
Shares are up 80% over the last year, but have fallen 15% in the last month on retail weakness.
That means the shares are on sale. Crocs is still cheap, with a forward P/E of just 12.8.
Is Crocs the perfect combination of value and growth in 2022?
What Else Should You Know About the PEG Ratio?
