Screening for Cheap Strong Buy Stocks

Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) list can be sorted by investing strategy including value stocks.

Currently, there are dozens of Strong Buy stocks that have forward P/Es under 10.

But be warned, that the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) list is just the first step for investors. It provides a list of companies that currently have earnings estimates which analysts have recently revised higher.

Investors can use this as a starting point, however, to further research a company.

Additionally, extra low P/E ratios can also be a warning sign about a particular business.

Do your homework.

5 of the Cheapest Strong Buy Stocks

1.       Orient Overseas International (OROVY - Free Report)  is currently the cheapest stock on the Zacks Rank list with a forward P/E of just 1.85. It's a Hong Kong-based container transport and logistics company. Earnings are expected to soar 568% this year but are forecast to cool off in 2022 by 46%. It trades with extremely low volume of just 1500 shares per session.

2.       Smith & Wesson (SWBI - Free Report)  has a forward P/E of 5.6. While gun sales have surged during the pandemic, as have Smith & Wesson's earnings, analysts expect earnings and revenue to fall in fiscal 2022 on the reopen. Shares have fallen 29% since July 1.

3.       KB Home (KBH - Free Report)  was a big pandemic winner as the housing market had its best year in 15 years. Earnings are expected to be up 99% in 2021 and another 12.6% in 2022. But the Street is worried about "peak earnings" so the shares trade with a forward P/E of just 6.5. It's the cheapest home builder, by P/E, on the Zacks #1 Rank list.

4.       Camping World (CWH - Free Report)  is another pandemic winner as consumers flocked to the outdoors. But analysts are also wondering if the sales haven't been pulled forward. Earnings are expected to rise 54% in 2021 but decline 5.1% in 2022 as the pandemic fades. It's dirt cheap, with a forward P/E of just 6.9 and a PEG of 0.2.

5.       W&T Offshore (WTI - Free Report)  drills offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. This small cap oil company is expected to grow earnings by 387% this year and another 71% next year. But shares have fallen 8% in the last month as oil stocks remain out of favor. This is the cheapest E&P on the Zacks #1 Rank list, with a forward P/E of just 8.
