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.
Value investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
H&R Block Inc. is a leading provider of tax preparation services. The company provides assisted income tax return preparation, do-it-yourself (DIY) tax solutions and other products and services associated with income tax return preparation in the United States, Canada and Australia.
HRB boasts a Value Style Score of A and VGM Score of A, and holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) rating. Shares of H&R Block are trading at a forward earnings multiple of 11.6X, as well as a PEG Ratio of 0.9, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 11.3X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 2.3X.
Value investors don't just pay attention to a company's valuation ratios; positive earnings play a crucial role, too. One analyst revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2025. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.03 to $5.28 per share. HRB has an average earnings surprise of 9.9%.
With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding HRB to their portfolios.
