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.
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.
SkyWest, founded in 1972, is based in St. George, UT and operates as a regional airline in the United States through its subsidiary SkyWest Airlines.
SKYW boasts a Value Style Score of A and VGM Score of B, and holds a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) rating. Shares of SkyWest are trading at a forward earnings multiple of 9.9X, as well as a PEG Ratio of 1.1, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 5.1X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 1X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, three analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for SKYW, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.64 to $9.01 per share. SKYW also holds an average earnings surprise of 16.7%.
With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding SKYW to their portfolios.
