Stocks remain cheap after the recent stock market correction but what about cheap stocks that also have earnings growth?That’s a rare combination.Or is it?
Screening for Classic Value Stocks
Tracey ran a screen that is on Zacks “Basic” screens called “Classic Value Stocks with Growth.” Sounds simple, right?It looks for stocks with high historical 5-year earnings growth, strong growth for this year, and the classic value fundamentals of a low P/E, PEG, P/S, and P/B ratios.This screen does not include the Zacks Rank, however. It’s one of Zacks’ free basic screens available to anyone.Running this screen, it produced 54 stocks. That’s a lot of cheap stocks. Obviously, some may be Zacks Strong Sells. But Tracey pulled out 5 to take a closer look and none of those 5 were Strong Sells.Coincidence?
