Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
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.
Flowers Foods emphasizes on providing high-quality baked items, developing strong brands, making innovations to improve capabilities and undertaking prudent acquisitions. Along with these, the company strives toward developing technology advanced bakeries.
FLO boasts a Value Style Score of B and VGM Score of A, and holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating. Shares of Flowers Foods are trading at a forward earnings multiple of 17.3X, as well as a PEG Ratio of 4.2, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 11.3X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 0.9X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2024, three analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for FLO, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.01 to $1.27 per share. FLO also holds an average earnings surprise of 3.5%.
