Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
Achieving those goals is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on popular investing methodologies, namely value, growth, and momentum. The Style Scores can help you narrow down which stocks are better for your portfolio and which ones can beat the market over the long-term.
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.
Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal is the world’s leading steel and mining company. With a presence in more than 60 countries, it operates a balanced portfolio of cost competitive steel plants across both the developed and developing world. It is the leader in all the main sectors – automotive, household appliances, packaging and construction.
MT sits at a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), holds a Value Style Score of A, and has a VGM Score of A. Compared to the Steel - Producers industry's P/E of 12.4X, shares of ArcelorMittal are trading at a forward P/E of 7.5X. MT also has a PEG Ratio of 0.1, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 4.8X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 0.4X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, four analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for MT, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.27 to $3.87 per share. MT also holds an average earnings surprise of 4.1%.
With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding MT to their portfolios.
