Value investors analyze a variety of traditional, tried-and-true metrics to help find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
The Value category of the Style Scores system identifies undervalued companies by looking at a number of key metrics. These include the long-favored P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that help us determine a company's fair value.
YETI currently has a forward P/E ratio of 15.75, while SRAD has a forward P/E of 595.50. We also note that YETI has a PEG ratio of 1.08. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. SRAD currently has a PEG ratio of 15.
Another notable valuation metric for YETI is its P/B ratio of 5.03. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, SRAD has a P/B of 14.
These metrics, and several others, help YETI earn a Value grade of B, while SRAD has been given a Value grade of F.
