5 Value Stocks To Watch In The Financial Services Sector

The Meaning Behind 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.

  1. OneMain Holdings OMF - P/E: 7.16
  2. Finward Bancorp FNWD - P/E: 8.09
  3. Fulton Financial FULT - P/E: 8.24
  4. Mr. Cooper Gr COOP - P/E: 8.53
  5. Noah Holdings NOAH - P/E: 7.38
