Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.

Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use tried-and-true metrics and fundamental analysis to find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with both "A" grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now.

One stock to keep an eye on is Yankuang Energy Group Company Limited Sponsored ADR (YZCAY - Free Report) . YZCAY is currently holding a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with P/E ratio of 9 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P/E of 10.85. Over the last 12 months, YZCAY's Forward P/E has been as high as 9.00 and as low as 3.77, with a median of 4.99.

Another valuation metric that we should highlight is YZCAY's P/B ratio of 0.68. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. YZCAY's current P/B looks attractive when compared to its industry's average P/B of 1.74. YZCAY's P/B has been as high as 0.82 and as low as 0.48, with a median of 0.59, over the past year.

These are only a few of the key metrics included in Yankuang Energy Group Company Limited Sponsored ADR's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now.
