Investors looking to keep buying stocks in November might consider value stocks, given how overheated the AI pocket of the market is right now.

Today, we dive into how investors can find highly ranked—Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy)—value stocks to buy now as Wall Street kicks off a busy week.

Screen Basics: Finding the Best Value Stocks to Buy Now

The screen we are digging into today comes loaded with the Research Wizard and aims to sort through highly-ranked Zacks stocks to find some of the top value names.

This value-focused screen searches only for stocks that boast Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buys) or #2 (Buys). It also focuses on stocks with price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios under the median for its industry. The screen also looks for stocks with price-to-sales (P/S) ratios under the median for its industry to help lock in relative value compared to its peers, since basing it off the wider market is not always the most useful tool.

The screen then digs into quarterly earnings rates above the median for its industry. This particular Zacks screen also uses a special blend of upgrades and estimates revisions to select the best seven stocks in this list.

The screen basics are listed below…

·       Only Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy) Stocks

·       P/E (using 12-month EPS) - Under the Median for its Industry

·       P/S - Under the Median for its Industry

·       Percentage Change Act. EPS Q(0)/Q(-1)

·       Rating Change and Revisions Factors (to help narrow the list to the 7 best stocks in this list)

This strategy comes loaded with the Research Wizard and it is called bt_sow_value_method1. It can be found in the SoW (Screen of the Week) folder.

The screen is simple, yet powerful. Here is one of the seven stocks that made it through this week's screen…

Buy Soaring Oil and Gas Stock DINO for Stellar Value and Growth

HF Sinclair’s (DINO - Free Report)  earnings and revenue growth outlook is impressive as it rides a period of tight global fuel supplies, elevated crack spreads, and strong refining margins. Despite the cyclical nature of the business, the company is generating substantial cash flow and returning capital to shareholders while investing in more stable segments.
