It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors.
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.
Different than growth or momentum investors, value-focused investors are all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under what their true value is before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.

HAE sits at a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), holds a Value Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of B. Compared to the Medical - Products industry's P/E of 25.1X, shares of Haemonetics are trading at a forward P/E of 16.4X. HAE also has a PEG Ratio of 1.2, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 12.5X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 2.8X.
Value investors don't just pay attention to a company's valuation ratios; positive earnings play a crucial role, too. Two analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2025. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.02 to $4.59 per share. HAE has an average earnings surprise of 2.8%.
Investors should take the time to consider HAE for their portfolios due to its solid Zacks Ranks, notable earnings and valuation metrics, and impressive Value and VGM Style Scores.
