Zacks
31 Jan

The proven Zacks Rank system focuses on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find winning stocks. Nevertheless, we know that our readers all have their own perspectives, so we are always looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong picks.

Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use tried-and-true metrics and fundamental analysis to find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

On top of the Zacks Rank, investors can also look at our innovative Style Scores system to find stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will want to focus on the "Value" category. Stocks with high Zacks Ranks and "A" grades for Value will be some of the highest-quality value stocks on the market today.

One company to watch right now is Playtika (PLTK). PLTK is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and an A for Value. The stock has a Forward P/E ratio of 10.44. This compares to its industry's average Forward P/E of 29.19. Over the past year, PLTK's Forward P/E has been as high as 13.63 and as low as 7.99, with a median of 10.54.

Value investors also frequently use the P/S ratio. This metric is found by dividing a stock's price with the company's revenue. Some people prefer this metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement. This means it could be a truer performance indicator. PLTK has a P/S ratio of 1.08. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.24.

Finally, our model also underscores that PLTK has a P/CF ratio of 7.24. This data point considers a firm's operating cash flow and is frequently used to find companies that are undervalued when considering their solid cash outlook. This company's current P/CF looks solid when compared to its industry's average P/CF of 28.36. Over the past year, PLTK's P/CF has been as high as 9.13 and as low as 6.12, with a median of 7.41.

These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that Playtika is likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, PLTK feels like a great value stock at the moment.
