Are You a Value Investor? This 1 Stock Could Be the Perfect Pick

Zacks Equity Research
·2-min read

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals.

Achieving those goals is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on popular investing methodologies, namely value, growth, and momentum. The Style Scores can help you narrow down which stocks are better for your portfolio and which ones can beat the market over the long-term.

Why Investors Should Pay Attention to This Value Stock

Different than growth or momentum investors, value-focused investors are all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under what their true value is before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH)

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda Limited company, is a leading cruise line operator. It owns and operates three brands — Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line. The company, founded in 1966, is headquartered in Miami, FL.

NCLH sits at a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), holds a Value Style Score of A, and has a VGM Score of A. Compared to the Leisure and Recreation Services industry's P/E of 18.3X, shares of Norwegian Cruise Line are trading at a forward P/E of 12.5X. NCLH also has a PEG Ratio of 0.3, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 7.9X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 1X.

Value investors don't just pay attention to a company's valuation ratios; positive earnings play a crucial role, too. Six analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2024. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.17 to $1.58 per share. NCLH has an average earnings surprise of 5.7%.

With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding NCLH to their portfolios.
