A Look Into Real Estate Sector Value Stocks

What is a Value Stock?

A value stock traditionally has a lower price when compared to stock prices of companies in the same industry. This indicates that the company may be undervalued, as investors are not expressing as much interest in such companies. The most commonly used way to check for value is with the price-to-earnings multiple, or P/E. A low P/E multiple is a good indication that the stock is undervalued.

Benzinga Insights has compiled a list of value stocks in the real estate sector that may be worth watching:

  1. City Office REIT (NYSE:CIO) - P/E: 1.33
  2. Ready Capital (NYSE:RC) - P/E: 6.17
  3. Newmark Group (NASDAQ:NMRK) - P/E: 2.95
  4. Apartment Income REIT (NYSE:AIRC) - P/E: 9.15
  5. Forestar Group (NYSE:FOR) - P/E: 5.42

City Office REIT's earnings per share for Q1 sits at $0.4, whereas in Q4, they were at 0.36. Its most recent dividend yield is at 4.72%, which has increased by 0.23% from 4.49% in the previous quarter.
