What are the key principles and strategies of value investing?

Value investing focuses on identifying undervalued stocks by analyzing fundamentals like price-to-earnings ratios, dividend yields, and book value, with the goal of buying quality companies at a discount to their intrinsic value and holding them for the long term.

One of the key principles of successful investing is to buy high-quality “value stocks”—that is, stocks that are reasonably priced, if not cheap, in relation to their sales, earnings or assets. As more investors come to recognize the value of these stocks, they begin to rise. Well-informed investors who recognized the value while the stock lingered at a cheaper price begin to reap the benefits of their foresight.

Canadian value stocks are typically stocks trading lower than their financial fundamentals suggest. They are then recognized by investors as undervalued, and then begin to rise.

What are the common mistakes to avoid when value investing?

Common value investing mistakes include failing to conduct thorough research, ignoring the importance of a margin of safety, chasing high yields without considering overall financial health, and lacking patience to hold investments long-term.

Apart from financial ratios, a big part of finding undervalued stocks is about finding hidden value or assets in a company. That hidden value can take the form of real estate, research spending or customer loyalty.

Companies often spin offs or create new companies from internal divisions, or subsidiaries, when they feel it isn’t a good time to sell them outright. Instead, they choose to hand out shares of the new firm to their shareholders. That often results in an undervalued stock—and a great buying opportunity

Discover these 5 important questions about Canadian value stocks:

What are price to earnings ratios?

Price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios compare a company’s stock price to its earnings per share, providing a metric for valuing stocks.

Generally, the rule is that the lower the p/e, the better, and a p/e of less than, say 10, represents excellent value. Discover how we use the price-earnings ratio in conjunction with other financial factors to determine a stock’s true value!

Can real estate be a huge indicator of hidden value?

Real estate assets can indeed be significant indicators of hidden value in companies, often due to undervalued or underutilized property holdings on balance sheets.

What is a growth by acquisition strategy?

A growth by acquisition strategy involves expanding a company’s size, market share, or capabilities by purchasing other businesses rather than through organic growth.

Companies sometimes grow quickly by buying other companies. Sometimes this growth by acquisition strategy burns through too much capital. Discover how we choose tech companies that have both hidden value and real growth potential.

What is the holding company discount?

The holding company discount refers to the phenomenon where a holding company’s stock trades at a lower value than the sum of its individual investments or subsidiaries.

It represents a special kind of hidden asset and source of potential profit for investors in holding companies. Discover all of the reasons why holding companies trade at a discount.

Why do corporate spinoffs offer more value than IPOs?

From time to time, companies set up one or more of their divisions or subsidiaries as an independent firm, then hand out shares in that company to their own investors as a special dividend, or “corporate spin-off.” A number of studies have shown that after an initial adjustment period of a few months, spin-offs tend to outperform groups of comparable stocks for several years. Discover why we almost most always stay out of new issues.
