But why not buy a cheap stock which also has growth?The combination of value AND growth is powerful. The “father” of value investing, Benjamin Graham, was the first to put the combination together when he invented the PEG ratio, which is the price-to-earnings (PE) divided by earnings growth.A PEG ratio under 1.0 is usually considered to be the ideal to get a cheap stock with growth.Screening for Value Stocks with Growth Using the PEG RatioOn Zacks’ stock screener, investors can screen for the PEG ratio under 1.0 to get value stocks that also have growth.But you shouldn’t stop there.Tracey added the Zacks Ranks of #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy), the two highest Zacks Ranks, which should indicate that analysts are revising their earnings estimates for that company higher. When analysts revise earnings estimates higher, that usually means something good is going on at a company.Why settle for simple earnings growth? Why not get rising earnings as well?Running this basic screen returned 95 stocks. Many were in the gold mining, energy, and homebuilding industries.5 Value Stocks That Have Low PEG Ratios1.
