Looking for the best value stocks? Tracey Ryniec, Stock Strategist at Zacks Investment Research, discusses two stocks that might be worth a closer look by value investors: Bunge (BG) and Whirlpool (NYSE:WHR).
Both companies have forward P/Es well below the average of the S&P 500, which is now a sky-high level of 18. They also are in favor with analysts, as 2016 and 2017 earnings estimates have been moving higher.
Bunge is expected to grow earnings by 9% this year and Whirlpool is forecast to grow earnings by 18.7%. That’s not too shabby in a slow growth global economy.
As an added bonus, both companies, which are Zacks Rank #2 (Buys) pay dividends, with Bunge’s yielding 2.6% and Whirlpool paying out 2.3%.
