BY Benzinga
— 10:51 AM ET 05/20/2022

Understanding Value Stocks

A value stock is traditionally defined in terms of how investors in the marketplace are valuing that company's future growth prospects. Low P/E multiples are good base indicators that the company is undervalued and can most likely be labelled as a value stock.

Below is a list of notable value stocks in the basic materials sector:

  1. Methanex NASDAQ:MEOH - P/E: 7.65
  2. LyondellBasell Industries NYSE:LYB - P/E: 6.2
  3. Mercer Intl NASDAQ:MERC - P/E: 3.88
  4. GoldMining AMEX:GLDG - P/E: 2.08
  5. Olin NYSE:OLN - P/E: 7.09

This quarter, Methanex experienced a decrease in earnings per share, which was $2.43 in Q4 and is now $2.16. Most recently, the company reported a dividend yield of 1.2%, which has increased by 0.06% from last quarter's yield of 1.14%.

Most recently, LyondellBasell Industries reported earnings per share at $4.0, whereas in Q4 earnings per share sat at $3.63. The company's most recent dividend yield sits at 4.79%, which has decreased by 0.16% from 4.95% last quarter.

Mercer Intl has reported Q1 earnings per share at $1.34, which has increased by 19.64% compared to Q4, which was 1.12. Most recently, the company reported a dividend yield of 1.9%, which has decreased by 0.42% from last quarter's yield of 2.32%.

GoldMining has reported Q1 earnings per share at $-0.02, which has decreased by 166.67% compared to Q4, which was 0.03. Olin saw an increase in earnings per share from 2.41 in Q4 to $2.48 now. Most recently, the company reported a dividend yield of 1.54%, which has decreased by 0.08% from last quarter's yield of 1.62%.
