Finding the best value stocks to buy in this market is a delicate balancing act.
On the one hand, you typically need to think beyond the flashiest names in the stock market—wild growth stories are rarely underappreciated by Wall Street investors. But you also need to think past “cheap stocks,” too. For one, nominal price ($5 stocks, $1 stocks, penny stocks) isn’t an indication of value. But even “cheap” by actual valuation metrics isn’t helpful, either, if you’re just buying a discounted name with little else to love.
Value investing is a religion to many folks, the same way bargain hunting at flea markets or coupon clipping is to others. There’s a pride that value investors have about analyzing the true worth of a company, and they should. It’s a skill.
Today, we’ll talk a little about the basics of value stock investing. Then I’ll highlight some of the best value stocks for the rest of 2026 and beyond, across several sectors, that exemplify this approach.

What Is a Value Stock?

A value stock is a company that is perceived to be trading below some sort of intrinsic value. This is markedly different from many growth stocks, which typically trade at inflated market values based on investor interest or future growth potential.
Value stocks are often boring or steady names with established businesses, whereas a growth stock is likelier to be some flashy name with big ideas but no profits or tangible assets to speak of. Sure, flashy names are definitely interesting to watch. But they are simply not opportunities that most value stock investors would even consider, given their reliance on the promise of future growth rather than tangible value today.
So what’s the easiest way to separate a true value stock from overhyped pretenders? There’s no hard and fast rule, but there are a few metrics to watch, including:
- Price-to-earnings ratio: Stock prices should be based on something. One popular way is by normalizing the price per share by earnings per share to see how “cheap” or “expensive” the stock is vs. its peers. Price-to-earning (P/E) ratio can be backward-looking (usually the past 12 months’ worth of financials), though more useful is forward P/E, which looks ahead toward estimates for the coming year. For context, the average forward P/E of the S&P 500 lately is a little over 20.
- Price-to-sales ratio: Since profitability sometimes isn’t the best indicator, another point of reference worth considering is the market value of a stock when compared to its revenue. Value stocks typically trade for only about 2X their sales, while high-growth stocks can sometimes trade at price-to-sales (P/S) ratios of 10 or even 20. That’s a big risk if those sales don’t come in as expected.
- Dividend yield (and payout ratio): Value stocks often have tangible and consistent profits, and they frequently share those profits with investors. Thus, many value stocks are also dividend-paying stocks. But don’t just go chasing a high yield; some dividend stocks offer unsustainable payouts that are at risk of being cut down the road. Compare the annual dividends paid to the earnings per share to make sure the company in question isn’t overstretched. Generally, paying out 70% of profits via dividends leaves enough wiggle room, but a healthy payout ratio might differ from one industry to the next.
- A company’s stock price trend: Value stocks as a group are, over the long term, less volatile than growth stocks. Just understand that the broader environment or unexpected headlines can upset even the most stolid blue chip.

Does a Low Stock Price Mean a Good Stock Value?
Think about the difference between buying a hidden gem at a flea market vs. a piece of junk that’s better off in the trash. Both are “cheap,” but one is a value, while the other is more of a “value trap.”
You’ll find the same issue when hunting for values in the stock market.

For instance, some stocks trade for very low price-to-earnings or price-to-sales ratio because Wall Street is expecting the actual numbers to come in much lower in the years ahead. If the experts are proven right, the stock isn’t a bargain at all. Rather, it has been discounted because it isn’t as valuable as it used to be.
Just as growth stocks can sometimes be valued based on their future operations instead of their current results, value stocks can also be valued based on their outlook—and if that outlook is grim, investors might not put much weight in current profits that are likely to vanish over the next year or two.
However, sometimes a bit of bad news results in a temporary short-term headwind, and value investors are often the first to swoop in for bargain purchases when that happens. Just be careful: It can be difficult to tell the difference between a stock that’s priced low for a reason, and a true bargain value investment.

How Do Value Stocks Differ From Growth Stocks?
Small biotech companies researching a potential cancer cure or tech startups developing a potential artificial intelligence (AI) gamechanger could become billion-dollar giants … or they might disappear overnight if their plans don’t pan out.
These are fundamentally “growth stocks” that are dependent on revenue and earnings growth that will justify their share price. Just think about a company like Tesla (TSLA) that debuted on Wall Street in 2010 even though it was unprofitable and had only manufactured less than 2,000 cars before going public and had a mere 4,000 additional pre-orders on the books. It was a risky bet to be sure, but now Tesla is the envy of the entire EV industry and cranks out millions of cars—and has made early investors a bundle along the way.
Related: 15 Best Long-Term Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever
Value stocks can make a bundle for investors, too, but in a very different way. They’re more likely to be companies such as traditional automakers with deep pockets and tons of hard assets like production facilities. Sure, it might be impossible for an automaker like Toyota (TM) to double, considering it is already the world’s No. 1 automaker with about $300 billion in revenue and nearly 11 million vehicles sold annually. But growth isn’t the appeal here … rather, the underlying value and established operations of Volkswagen is the draw.
Lastly, value stocks and growth stocks don’t always have to be opposites. From time to time, Wall Street will underestimate a high-growth firm, and as a result, you’ll have a growth stock trading at value prices.

The Top Value Picks to Buy Now

Today, I’ll look at some of the best value stocks to buy as rated by consensus analyst ratings from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The consensus rating is the average of all known analyst ratings of the stock, boiled down to a numerical system where …
1-1.5 = Strong Buy
1.5-2.5 = Buy
2.5-3.5 = Hold
3.5-4.5 = Sell
4.5-5 = Strong Sell
In short: The lower the number, the better the overall consensus view on the stock. All stocks here are rated at least 2.0 or below, meaning at worst they’re solidly in the Buy camp, though most of the picks are considered Strong Buys as we enter 2026. And the stocks are listed in reverse order of their consensus rating (from worst to best).
All stocks also have forward P/Es that are below both the S&P 500 and their sectors, as well as PEGs below 1.0.
As iconic investor Warren Buffett once wrote, “In the short run, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.” The following seven stocks are good examples of value stocks with real weight.

7. Citizens Financial Group

- Sector: Financials
- Market capitalization: $27.5 billion
- Dividend yield: 3.2%
- Forward P/E: 10.5
- Consensus analyst rating: 1.55 (Buy)
Citizens Financial Group (CFG) is the holding company behind Citizens Bank, a large regional bank with roughly 1,000 branches serving 14 East Coast and Midwest states as well as Washington, D.C. It provides a wide variety of consumer and commercial banking services, including deposits, mortgages, credit cards, business loans, wealth management, foreign exchange, corporate finance, and more.
Related: The Best Dividend Stocks: 10 Pro-Grade Income Picks
One of CFG’s biggest engines of growth is Citizens Private Bank, which offers personal banking, wealth management, and other services to people with at least $10 million in net worth and at least $5 million in liquid assets. Since launching near the end of 2023, Private Bank has accumulated $18.5 billion in deposits, $11.7 billion in loans, and $12.4 billion in client assets.
“Positive policies around deregulation, looser capital requirements, and more stress test transparency stand to benefit CFG, however higher interest rates may crimp loan demand,” say Argus Research analysts Kevin Heal and Shutaro Yasuda, who rate Citizens’ shares at Buy. “Management has remained confident that Private Bank will deliver 20% to 25% return on equity for FY26. Additionally, the bank continues to show strong performance in the New York metro region.”

“CFG remains among our top ideas among Super Regional banks, with a time-based and methodical ROTCE [return on tangible common equity] improvement story built on strengthening growth, business model diversification (Private Bank), and positive operating leverage,” add Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analysts, who rate the stock at Outperform (equivalent of Buy). “The Reimagine the Bank initiative is now running slightly ahead of schedule and should be additive to CFG’s 16-18% ROTCE target over time.”
All told, Citizens has a broad bull camp of 17 Buys versus three Holds and no Sells. Part of the appeal is a cheap forward P/E below 11 that compares well to the financial sector’s 15.5, as well as a very low PEG of just 0.4 currently.

6. Bank of America
- Sector: Financials
- Market capitalization: $351.2 billion
- Dividend yield: 2.5%
- Forward P/E: 10.1
- Consensus analyst rating: 1.48 (Super Buy)
Bank of America (BAC) is one of the world’s largest banks, serving roughly 70 million Americans through 3,800 branches and 15,000 ATMs across 39 states. However, BofA is much, much more than its consumer business—it also provides financial products and services for small and midsized businesses, large corporations, institutional investors, and even governments. Its offerings range from checking and savings accounts to commercial loans, trade finance, treasury management, and securities clearing.
Related: The 13 Best Mutual Funds for the Rest of 2026
BAC shares are well in the red amid a roller-coaster year most recently punctuated with a $1.2 billion anti-money-laundering fine announced in mid-October.
“We believe the penalty represents a one-time earnings charge rather than an ongoing change to the underlying earnings power of the franchise,” say Jefferies analysts, who rate the stock at Buy. “Our Buy rating reflects BAC’s strong [net interest income] outlook, supported by fixed-asset repricing and expectations for disciplined expense growth that should drive durable operating leverage. BAC’s strong consumer deposit base is a positive differentiator, and we also value its solid credit quality. We believe improving ROTCE should help narrow BAC’s valuation gap versus its closest peer, [JPMorgan Chase].”
And valuation isn’t exactly problematic as is. BofA’s forward P/E of about 10 is well cheaper than both the broader market and the financial sector, while a PEG of 0.7 shows it’s undervalued in relation to its projected growth.

“A strong pipeline in advisory supports our upward revision to Global Banking estimates in 2027 and 2028, as expectations imply a more pushed timeline,” adds Citi analyst Benjamin Gerlinger (Buy). “We revised expenses upwards driven by higher personnel cost growth rate. … We see continued NII growth as a tailwind supported by an increase in [commercial and industrial] loans; a low loan-to-deposit ratio creates NII upside with a more productive balance sheet.”
Analysts are plenty bullish on this Big Four bank, which has earned 22 Buy ratings against just three Holds and no Sells. That, as well as a well-covered dividend that has jumped by nearly 80% since 2020, puts BAC among not just the best value stocks to buy for the rest of 2026, but among the best dividend-paying picks, too.

5. Vistra

- Sector: Utilities
- Market capitalization: $45.7 billion
- Dividend yield: 0.7%
- Forward P/E: 14.1
- Consensus analyst rating: 1.39 (Strong Buy)
Vistra (VST) is a utility company that retails electricity and natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the U.S. It serves roughly 5 million retail customers, and it can generate approximately 44,000 megawatts across natural gas, nuclear, coal, solar, and other energy sources.
Related: 11 Best Vanguard Funds for the Everyday Investor
Vistra isn’t, however, your typical “ute,” or at least not the business that comes to mind when most people think about the sector. Many utility companies, like your local electricity provider, tend to be “regulated” firms that price their service based on a contract that it negotiates with the state. They’re also limited to providing service within a geographic region. But Vistra sells electricity and natural gas wholesale, sometimes to businesses and individuals through its subsidiaries, and it can even sell electricity to other utility companies.
The business model offers more room for growth than traditional utility stocks, but at the cost of the defensive properties (stable revenues, steady cash that can be parked into big dividends) we expect from the sector.
Wall Street happily accepts that tradeoff. Right now, 21 analysts call VST a Buy, against one Hold and one Sell—even in the face of elections-driven turbulence in the stock.

“Despite this week’s sharp, ERCOT-led pullback following Tuesday’s Blue Wave, we believe the sector’s fundamental drivers remain intact,” says BMO Capital Markets analyst James M. Thalacker. “With Texas Republicans retaining the State Senate (a key check on PUCT appointments and broader regulatory overhaul) and FERC unaffected by the election, we see the mid-November RTO Show Cause filings and PJM’s revised RBP as the more important near-term catalysts. … We continue to believe investors underappreciate the sector’s significant and increasingly long-dated free cash flow profile, and reiterate Outperform-rated VST and [Constellation Energy] as our favored ways to invest in the secular power theme.”
Shares trade at 14 times next year’s earnings estimates, which is better than the utility sector’s 17 forward P/E. A PEG of 0.4 is well within value territory, too.

4. Micron
- Sector: Technology
- Market capitalization: $919.8 billion
- Dividend yield: 0.6%
- Forward P/E: 4.1
- Consensus analyst rating: 1.35 (Strong Buy)
Micron Technology (MU) specializes in memory and storage products, such as dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), NAND flash memory, and solid-state drives (SSDs). It serves a wide variety of markets, including PCs, graphics, networking, automotive, industrial, and consumer. Perhaps its most important right now is data centers, where AI-driven demand has helped to reinvigorate prices for NAND and DRAM broadly.
“In the age of AI, no company other than Nvidia has blown away consensus expectations as measurably as Micron has done with its quarterly results across FY26 and now with guidance into FY27,” says Argus analyst Jim Kelleher (Buy). “Growth is being driven by surging prices and AI demand for high bandwidth memory (HBM), along with soaring DRAM volumes, favorable mix, and improved NAND demand.”
Related: The 10 Best Dividend ETFs for the Rest of 2026
That said, Micron and many other companies within the datacenter universe were thwacked around the November midterms, during which Democrats routed the more AI-friendly Republican party and 40 of 41 anti-datacenter ballot measures were approved.
“The blue wave at the mid-term elections has heightened concerns about AI regulation, and triggered a sharp positioning unwind,” Alastair Pinder, CFA Head EM and Global Equity Strategist for HSBC Global Investment Research, wrote following the elections. “Democratic candidates who won races in key states such as Texas and Ohio were firm advocates of regulation, including moratoriums. In total, 80% of the 310 gigawatts of U.S. datacenter pipeline capacity under construction or planned is now in states that have Democratic governors (up from 35% pre-midterms).”
Related: The 10 Best Fidelity ETFs You Can Buy [Invest Tactically]
Despite losing about a third of its value in just a couple of weeks, MU remains an insanely popular pick and even sits among our top growth stocks. Currently, Micron stock enjoys a whopping 45 Buy calls versus just four Holds and no sells. A forward P/E in the low single digits helps, as well as a PEG below 0.1. That contrasts nicely against consensus estimates for 55% annual earnings growth over the next three to five years.
Even Goldman Sachs analyst James Schneider, who rates the stock at Neutral, believes the stock is too cheap to ignore, saying “we also believe risk/reward is becoming more attractive for Micron in light of the high probability of strong free cash flow in the coming quarters.” Despite his Hold-equivalent call, a price target of $1,250 still implies more than 50% upside from current levels.

3. United Airlines

- Sector: Industrials
- Market capitalization: $38.4 billion
- Dividend yield: N/A
- Forward P/E: 14.6
- Consensus analyst rating: 1.32 (Strong Buy)
Airlines in general are strongly tethered to consumer demand and economic strength, both of which are extremely difficult to handicap under the current policy environment.
Heading into this year, the airline industry in general was expected to benefit from (among other things) low supply growth as well as easy comparisons to 2025, when extreme macroeconomic volatility rocked the industry. So if the economy did pick up, and especially if the current administration did go through with any of its proposed stimulus measures, those could be considered additional tailwinds for airlines. But of course, America’s war with Iran muddied the picture by triggering multiple spikes in fuel costs, creating economic uncertainty, and raising the prospects of diminished travel appetite.
Related: 8 Best Real Estate Crowdfunding Sites + Platforms
The actual situation has been mixed. Demand for air travel has indeed been robust despite higher fares to cover costlier fuel. But stocks like United Airlines (UAL)—the largest airline in the world by revenue passenger miles, flying 175 million people to more than 350 destinations on six continents—have still whipsawed amid ebbing and flowing worries about whether higher fuel costs will finally weigh on demand.
After a recent recovery in shares, United is sitting at the high end of our valuation requirements: a forward P/E of about 15 (still well below industrials’ 23 P/E) and a PEG of just below 1.0. Still, analysts remain extremely positive on the stock, at 23 Buys versus two Holds and not a single Sell.
Related: 10 Best Alternative Investments [Options to Consider]
“The company’s business model is based on its highly profitable loyalty program (Mileage Plus), premium seating, and credit-card partnerships. With full-service carriers continuing to perform better than their low-cost competitors, we expect these strengths to favor UAL,” says Argus Research analyst John Staszak (Buy). “Adding to our optimism is the company’s cargo operation, which transports freight and mail and provides incremental revenue.”
Jefferies analysts Sheila Kahyaoglu and Jack Ewell (also Buy) add that they like United and Delta Air Lines (DAL) as they add Basic fare options. “Similar to the addition of Basic Economy fares in the main cabin from U.S. legacy carriers in the 2010s, Basic options joining the premium fare umbrella are designed to incentivize buy-up behavior and drive higher average yields,” they say.
2. Churchill Downs
- Sector: Consumer discretionary
- Market capitalization: $6.9 billion
- Dividend yield: 0.5%
- Forward P/E: 13.5
- Consensus analyst rating: 1.25 (Strong Buy)
Churchill Downs (CHDN) operates live and historical racing entertainment venues, online gambling businesses, and regional casino gaming properties in the United States.
Its racing operations include live and historical parimutuel (all bets are combined in a pool) racing-related activities at Churchill Downs Racetrack, as well as historical racing properties in Kentucky, Virginia, and New Hampshire. It also provides racing event-related services, including admissions, personal seat licenses, sponsorships, television rights, and other miscellaneous services, as well as food and beverages services. Its businesses also include casino and racetrack operations, as well as horse racing wagering for TwinSpires.com, BetAmerica.com, and other white-label platforms.
Related: The 10 Best Dividend Stocks for Beginners in 2026
Churchill Downs struggled across the first few months of the year, but it never rebounded alongside the rest of the market. Among other things, the company in July released an 8-K outlining potential sale options for its wholly owned regional gaming assets. The news overshadowed decent earnings and kept the stock pinned to the ground.
Fast-forward a few months, and things look much better, with the company indicating at its Q3 earnings report that the sale process of nine casinos should close by year end, and that Derby 153 ticketing revenue is up 25% year-over-year.
Related: The 7 Best Vanguard Retirement Funds for an IRA
“We see a compelling event-driven thesis, as CHDN is in the process of exiting regional gaming with a cleaner RemainCo portfolio comprised of entirely of higher margin & growth assets anchored by the throughline of horse racing,” say Stifel analysts, who rate the stock at Buy and have it on their Stifel Select List. “The story here is not yet completely ‘clean,’ as [Virginia] new competitive supply and potential legislation remain key fundamental overhangs and potential downside risk to out-year estimates. However, with the bear thesis on Derby pricing power incrementally de-risked, we think investors can more cleanly own CHDN.”
Stifel isn’t alone. CHDN stock is a unanimous Buy among its 12 covering analysts. That’s helped by a cheap forward P/E of 12 and 0.82 PEG. That puts Churchill Downs not only among Wall Street’s best value stocks right now, but also among its best rebound stocks for the second half of the year.

1. Darling Ingredients

- Sector: Consumer staples
- Market capitalization: $8.6 billion
- Dividend yield: N/A
- Forward P/E: 7.5
- Consensus analyst rating: 1.25 (Strong Buy)
Darling Ingredients (DAR) is a global producer and seller of sustainable natural ingredients, which it creates from edible and inedible bio-nutrients. It operates in three segments: Food, Feed, and Fuel.
Readers with more sensitive stomachs might want to skip a paragraph.
Related: The 10 Best ETFs for Beginners [2026]
The Food segment turns beef and pork bone chips, beef hides, and pig and fish skins into collagen; processes intestines into natural casings, refines animal fat into food-grade fat, and more. The Feed segment creates non-food-grade oils and protein meals, cookie meal used in poultry and swine food, even blood plasma powder and hemoglobin. And its fuels division turns organic sludge and food waste into biogas, converts certain animal byproducts into low-grade energy sources, and more.
BMO Capital Markets’ Andrew Strelzik (Outperform) has called DAR “one of our favorite investment ideas” and remains Outperform-rated on the stock even after a relatively weak Q3 print.
“While the shares continue to lag, we remain constructive as they do not reflect DAR’s durable EBITDA opportunity in a post-[Renewable Volume Obligations] operating environment or its improving financial position that should enable strong cash returns to shareholders beginning 2027.”
Related: 10 Best Fidelity Retirement Funds [Low-Cost + Long-Term]
UBS analyst Manav Gupta (Buy) adds that while earnings missed expectations, “it appears the majority of items that drove the miss are expected to reverse in 4Q26. … We see 4Q26 earnings coming in well above 3Q26. We believe once the net debt drops to or below $3 billion, the company would look to further boost shareholder returns and possibility of instituting a dividend.”
Strelzik and Gupta represent two of 11 Buy calls on DAR shares, which are contested by just one Hold and no Sells. Those ratings are driven by wild annual earnings-growth estimates of nearly 150% on average, as well as thin valuations for that growth: a forward P/E around 8 that’s about a third of the consumer staples sector, and a PEG below 0.1.
That puts it among Wall Street’s best value stocks, and a true, ahem, darling of the Wall Street analyst set.

Should I Buy Value Stocks or a Value Exchange-Traded Fund?

Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, provide a diversified way to play the stock market in one single holding. And perhaps unsurprisingly, there are a host of ETFs that seek to provide groups of value stocks in one place.
Diversification is definitely something to consider, but also keep in mind that it’s difficult to apply the same screening methodology on an ETF that you do on individual stocks. So if you care about popping the hood and looking around for yourself, investing in individual stocks might be preferable—even if it’s a bit more work.
