<h3>Understanding Value Stocks</h3>
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. 
<h2>Below is a list of notable value stocks in the financial services sector:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Universal Insurance Hldgs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UVE#NYSE">UVE</a>) - P/E: 7.01</li>

<li>Community Trust Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTBI#NASDAQ">CTBI</a>) - P/E: 8.68</li>
<li>First United (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUNC#NASDAQ">FUNC</a>) - P/E: 7.25</li>

5 Value Stocks In The Financial Services Sector

Tuesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from First United (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUNC#NASDAQ">FUNC</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>

<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?utm_source=insights">Pulled from Benzinga Pro data,</a> First United (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUNC#NASDAQ">FUNC</a>) showed a loss in earnings since Q2, totaling $2.76 million. Sales, on the other hand, increased by 7.4% to $19.75 million during Q3. In Q2, First United earned $3.02 million and total sales reached $18.38 million. 
<h3>What Is ROCE?</h3>
Return on Capital Employed is a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed by a business. Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company's ROCE. A higher ROCE is generally representative of successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROCE suggests the opposite. In Q3, First United posted an ROCE of 0.02%.
Keep in mind, while ROCE is a good measure of a company's recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company's earnings or sales in the near future. 
ROCE is a powerful metric for comparing the effectiveness of capital allocation for similar companies. A relatively high ROCE shows First United is potentially operating at a higher level of efficiency than other companies in its industry. If the company is generating high profits with its current level of capital, some of that money can be reinvested in more capital which will generally lead to higher returns and, ultimately, earnings per share (EPS) growth. 
For First United, the positive return on capital employed ratio of 0.02% suggests that management is allocating their capital effectively. Effective capital allocation is a positive indicator that a company will achieve more durable success and favorable long-term returns.
<h3>Upcoming Earnings Estimate</h3>
First United reported Q3 earnings per share at $1.04/share, which beat analyst predictions of $0.96/share.
