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.
Of these, perhaps no stock market trend is more popular than value investing, which is a strategy that has proven to be successful in all sorts of market environments. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.
Zacks has developed the innovative Style Scores system to highlight stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will be interested in stocks with great grades in the "Value" category. When paired with a high Zacks Rank, "A" grades in the Value category are among the strongest value stocks on the market today.
One company to watch right now is Funko (FNKO). FNKO is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and an A for Value.
Investors should also recognize that FNKO has a P/B ratio of 2.81. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. FNKO's current P/B looks attractive when compared to its industry's average P/B of 7.36. Within the past 52 weeks, FNKO's P/B has been as high as 2.87 and as low as 1.32, with a median of 1.64.
Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock's price with the company's sales. This is a popular metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement, so they are often considered a better performance indicator. FNKO has a P/S ratio of 0.62. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 0.8.
Finally, investors will want to recognize that FNKO has a P/CF ratio of 25.76. This metric focuses on a firm's operating cash flow and is often used to find stocks that are undervalued based on the strength of their cash outlook. FNKO's P/CF compares to its industry's average P/CF of 40.38. Over the past year, FNKO's P/CF has been as high as 26.26 and as low as -8.67, with a median of -3.17.
These are just a handful of the figures considered in Funko's great Value grade. Still, they help show that the stock is likely being undervalued at the moment. Add this to the strength of its earnings outlook, and we can clearly see that FNKO is an impressive value stock right now.
