Read MoreHide Full Article

Investors looking for stocks in the Gaming sector might want to consider either Motorsport Games Inc. (MSGM - Free Report) or Red Rock Resorts (RRR - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let's take a closer look.

The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank favors stocks with strong earnings estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight companies with specific traits.

Motorsport Games Inc. and Red Rock Resorts are sporting Zacks Ranks of #1 (Strong Buy) and #3 (Hold), respectively, right now. This means that MSGM's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.

Value investors are also interested in a number of tried-and-true valuation metrics that help show when a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.

Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use.

MSGM currently has a forward P/E ratio of 16.20, while RRR has a forward P/E of 32.60. We also note that MSGM has a PEG ratio of 0.65. 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. RRR currently has a PEG ratio of 4.13.

Another notable valuation metric for MSGM is its P/B ratio of 3.87. 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. By comparison, RRR has a P/B of 18.1.

These metrics, and several others, help MSGM earn a Value grade of A, while RRR has been given a Value grade of C.

MSGM sticks out from RRR in both our Zacks Rank and Style Scores models, so value investors will likely feel that MSGM is the better option right now.
