For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals.
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.
Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Ralph Lauren Corp. is a major designer, marketer and distributor of premium lifestyle products in North America, Europe, Asia, and internationally. It offers products in the apparel, footwear, accessories, home furnishings, and other licensed product categories. The company possesses a strong portfolio of globally recognized brand names such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Ralph Lauren Collection, Double RL, Lauren Ralph Lauren, Polo Golf Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren Golf, RLX Ralph Lauren, Polo Ralph Lauren Children, Chaps, Club Monaco and American Living.
RL sits at a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), holds a Value Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of A. Compared to the Textile - Apparel industry's P/E of 13.5X, shares of Ralph Lauren are trading at a forward P/E of 19.3X. RL also has a PEG Ratio of 1.4, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 16.8X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 2.1X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, six analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for RL, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.28 to $12.01 per share. RL also holds an average earnings surprise of 6.5%.
