A Look Into Industrials Sector Value Stocks

What is a Value Stock?

A value stock is traditionally defined in terms of how investors in the marketplace are valuing that company's future growth prospects. Low P/E multiples are good base indicators that the company is undervalued and can most likely be labelled as a value stock.

The following stocks are considered to be notable value stocks in the industrials sector:

3. Greenland Technologies GTEC - P/E: 5.3
4. Hollysys Automation Tech HOLI - P/E: 9.54
