A Look Into Utilities Sector Value Stocks

What are Value Stocks?

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.

3. Enel Chile ENIC - P/E: 2.38
4. Kenon Hldgs KEN - P/E: 4.76
5. Brookfield Renewable BEPC - P/E: 3.84
