Top Value Stocks by StockIQ Score

The Fair-Value category (15% of the score) isn't based on the P/E ratio alone — it combines a real DCF model (discounting projected future cash flows, based on historical cash-flow data), a sector-multiple comparison (valuation relative to similar companies in the same sector), and a net-asset check. Combining these parameters exists specifically to avoid a stock looking "cheap" only because one misleading metric says so — for example, a low P/E driven by a one-off, non-recurring profit.

A stock ranking high here trades, per the model, below its calculated fair value — that's a research starting point, not a claim the price will rise. A stock can stay "cheap" (or "expensive") for a long time; it's worth checking why — sometimes a relatively cheap stock is cheap for a legitimate reason (business risk, a declining sector) that a quantitative model doesn't fully capture.
