Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use fundamental analysis and traditional valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are being undervalued by the market at large.
In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with "A" grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.
One stock to keep an eye on is ArcelorMittal (MT). MT is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with P/E ratio of 7.29 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P/E of 10.33. Over the past year, MT's Forward P/E has been as high as 8.54 and as low as 4.80, with a median of 5.91.
Investors should also note that MT holds a PEG ratio of 0.14. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. MT's industry has an average PEG of 0.35 right now. Over the last 12 months, MT's PEG has been as high as 0.56 and as low as 0.13, with a median of 0.35.

This stock's P/CF looks attractive against its industry's average P/CF of 13.27. MT's P/CF has been as high as 14.53 and as low as 4.24, with a median of 6.60, all within the past year.
