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.

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 company to watch right now is DHI Group (DHX - Free Report) . DHX is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and an A for Value. The stock holds a P/E ratio of 12.56, while its industry has an average P/E of 14.52. DHX's Forward P/E has been as high as 28.42 and as low as 8.99, with a median of 14.14, all within the past year.

Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock's price with the company's sales. This is a popular metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement, so they are often considered a better performance indicator. DHX has a P/S ratio of 1.03. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.19.

These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that DHI Group is likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, DHX feels like a great value stock at the moment.
