5 Value Stocks In The Consumer Cyclical Sector

What Defines 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.

  1. Big 5 Sporting Goods BGFV - P/E: 4.61
  2. Haverty Furniture Cos HVT - P/E: 7.77
  3. Biglari Holdings BH - P/E: 0.43
  4. American Axle & Mfg Hldgs AXL - P/E: 4.64
  5. Century Communities CCS - P/E: 6.29
