Definition of Value Stocks



A value stock means an undervalued stock that has a lower price in the market as compared to the valuation done by fundamentals. The intrinsic value of a value stock is normally more than its existing market price and due to this market inefficiency; the investor has a price bargaining power for buying the value stock.

 


The investors use the measures like price to earnings ratio and price to book ratio. The reason behind the lower market value is that the market is not reflecting the performance of the company correctly in the price of the stock. That is why the value stock normally shows a higher dividend yield, lower price to earnings ratio, and lower price to book ratio at the same time.
