Investing in stocks with a low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio and price-to-book (P/B) ratio can be a strategy to identify undervalued companies. Stocks with a P/E ratio under 10 and a P/B ratio below 1 often indicate that the market may be undervaluing the company relative to its earnings and assets.
These stocks can present opportunities for growth as they may rebound when the market recognizes their true value.
