5 Value Stocks In The Real Estate Sector

What are Value Stocks?

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.

Below is a list of notable value stocks in the real estate sector:

  1. Newmark Group (NASDAQ:NMRK) - P/E: 4.09
  2. Dynex Cap (NYSE:DX) - P/E: 5.87
  3. Forestar Group (NYSE:FOR) - P/E: 6.55
  4. Lument Finance Trust (NYSE:LFT) - P/E: 9.99
  5. Great Ajax (NYSE:AJX) - P/E: 7.77

Newmark Group has reported Q4 earnings per share at $0.65, which has increased by 30.0% compared to Q3, which was 0.5. Most recently, the company reported a dividend yield of 0.24%, which has decreased by 0.02% from last quarter's yield of 0.26%.
