Fortunately for investors looking for this combination, we have identified a strong candidate which may be an impressive value; International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A. (ICAGY - Free Report) .

International Consolidated Airlines in Focus

ICAGY may be an interesting play thanks to its forward PE of 7.43, its P/S ratio of 0.26, and its decent dividend yield of 1.7%. These factors suggest that International Consolidated Airlines is a pretty good value pick, as investors have to pay a relatively low level for each dollar of earnings, and that ICAGY has decent revenue metrics to back up its earnings.

But before you think that International Consolidated Airlines is just a pure value play, it is important to note that it has been seeing solid activity on the earnings estimate front as well. For current year earnings, the consensus has gone up by 27.5% in the past 30 days, thanks to x upward revisions in the past one/two months compared to x lower.
