Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

Of these, value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. Value investors use tried-and-true metrics and fundamental analysis to find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with "A" grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.

One stock to keep an eye on is ARKO (ARKO - Free Report) . ARKO is currently holding a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and a Value grade of A.

We should also highlight that ARKO has a P/B ratio of 2.17. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. ARKO's current P/B looks attractive when compared to its industry's average P/B of 5.54. Within the past 52 weeks, ARKO's P/B has been as high as 3.27 and as low as 1.60, with a median of 2.51.
