While the proven Zacks Rank places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find strong stocks, we also know that investors tend to develop their own individual strategies. With this in mind, we are always looking at value, growth, and momentum trends to discover great companies.

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 company to watch right now is OptimizeRx (OPRX - Free Report) . OPRX is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), as well as an A grade for Value.

We also note that OPRX holds a PEG ratio of 0.96. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. OPRX's industry has an average PEG of 1.40 right now. Over the past 52 weeks, OPRX's PEG has been as high as 1.13 and as low as 0.33, with a median of 0.76.

Another valuation metric that we should highlight is OPRX's P/B ratio of 2.83. 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. This stock's P/B looks attractive against its industry's average P/B of 6.23. Over the past 12 months, OPRX's P/B has been as high as 2.94 and as low as 0.61, with a median of 1.25.

These are only a few of the key metrics included in OptimizeRx's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, OPRX looks like an impressive value stock at the moment.
