It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors.
While you may have an investing style you rely on, finding great stocks is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores. These are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on value, growth, and/or momentum characteristics.
Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Comcast is a global media and technology company with three primary businesses: Comcast Cable, NBCUniversal and Sky.
CMCSA is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, with a Value Style Score of A and VGM Score of B. Shares are currently trading at a forward P/E of 9X for the current fiscal year compared to the Cable Television industry's P/E of 10.3X. Additionally, CMCSA has a PEG Ratio of 1.5 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 4.9X. Value investors should also note CMCSA's Price/Sales ratio of 1.2X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2024, five analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for CMCSA, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.01 to $4.25 per share. CMCSA also holds an average earnings surprise of 6.5%.
CMCSA should be on investors' short lists because of its impressive earnings and valuation fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and strong Value and VGM Style Scores.
