However, value investors will care about much more than just this.

Value investors are also interested in a number of tried-and-true valuation metrics that help show when a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.

The Style Score Value grade factors in a variety of key fundamental metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a number of other key stats that are commonly used by value investors.

TME currently has a forward P/E ratio of 17.35, while TTGT has a forward P/E of 18.02. We also note that TME has a PEG ratio of 0.81. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. TTGT currently has a PEG ratio of 10.12.

Another notable valuation metric for TME is its P/B ratio of 2.34. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, TTGT has a P/B of 3.51.

These metrics, and several others, help TME earn a Value grade of B, while TTGT has been given a Value grade of D.

TME stands above TTGT thanks to its solid earnings outlook, and based on these valuation figures, we also feel that TME is the superior value option right now.
