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.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Sony Group Corporation designs, manufactures and sells several consumer and industrial electronic equipment. The company’s product roster comprises audio and video equipment, televisions, network services, game hardware and software, mobile phones and image sensors. Additionally, Sony is active in the production, acquisition and distribution of recorded music and the management and licensing of the words and music for songs.
SONY sits at a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), holds a Value Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of B. Compared to the Audio Video Production industry's P/E of 18.2X, shares of Sony are trading at a forward P/E of 16.6X. SONY also has a PEG Ratio of 2.7, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 10X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 1.6X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, two analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for SONY, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.03 to $1.23 per share. SONY also holds an average earnings surprise of 28.4%.
Investors should take the time to consider SONY for their portfolios due to its solid Zacks Ranks, notable earnings and valuation metrics, and impressive Value and VGM Style Scores.
