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?
By integrating sell-side analyst expectations into the equation, Visible Alpha’s data science team provides a unique perspective into the underperformance of the value factor. Our research has unearthed a tendency of value investing to unintentionally select “value trap” stocks – stocks that only appear cheap and bets against growth stocks for which analysts have the highest expectations after a deep analysis of the fundamentals.
In the ever-changing landscape of investments, avoiding the “value trap” is crucial. Navigate the complexities of investing with Visible Alpha’s report on systematic value investing – a powerful antidote to the “value trap.”
