Looking for the best value stocks? I discuss two stocks that might be worth a closer look by value investors: ManpowerGroup (MAN –Analyst Report) and Caterpillar Inc. (CAT – Analyst Report).
ManpowerGroup, the global staffing company, is still growing earnings, despite tough currency exchange conditions. This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) is cheap, with a forward P/E of just 12.9.
Caterpillar doesn’t seem that cheap if you only look at the price-to-earnings ratio. It’s forward P/E is 16.7 which is above the average of the S&P 500. BUT- it has plenty of other value fundamentals including a price-to-book ratio and price-to-sales ratio that are both flashing value.
Caterpillar’s shares have been crushed in the last year. These are dark times for the company. But earnings estimates look like they may have bottomed. The shares, too, are up off the lows.
Should you be a buyer of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy)?
