Finding Value in Analyst Estimates for Value Investors

Value investing is a storied strategy that involves buying (long) stocks that appear cheap relative to their intrinsic value, often proxied by fundamental data from financial statements. This concept led many institutions to adopt some form of value investing. But what happens when conventional wisdom seems to falter, as growth stocks soar beyond expectations and the validity of value investing comes into question?
