Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.

Many investors also have a go-to methodology that helps guide their buy and sell decisions. One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.

Why Investors Should Pay Attention to This Value Stock

Different than growth or momentum investors, value-focused investors are all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under what their true value is before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Sony (SONY)

Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Sony Group Corporation (known as Sony Corporation till March 2021) designs, manufactures and sells several consumer and industrial electronic equipment. The company’s product roster comprises audio and video equipment, televisions, network services, game hardware and software, mobile phones and image sensors. Additionally, Sony is active in the production, acquisition and distribution of recorded music and the management and licensing of the words and music for songs.

SONY sits at a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), holds a Value Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of B. Compared to the Audio Video Production industry's P/E of 23.6X, shares of Sony are trading at a forward P/E of 17.1X. SONY also has a PEG Ratio of 12.7, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 8.8X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 1.4X.

A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, two analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for SONY, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.09 to $1.21 per share. SONY also holds an average earnings surprise of 22.8%.

With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding SONY to their portfolios.
