Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.

Of these, value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. Value investors use fundamental analysis and traditional valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are being undervalued by the market at large.

On top of the Zacks Rank, investors can also look at our innovative Style Scores system to find stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will want to focus on the "Value" category. Stocks with high Zacks Ranks and "A" grades for Value will be some of the highest-quality value stocks on the market today.

One stock to keep an eye on is REMAX (RMAX - Free Report) . RMAX is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with a P/E ratio of 8.75, which compares to its industry's average of 16.11. Over the past year, RMAX's Forward P/E has been as high as 10.67 and as low as 5.30, with a median of 7.29.

Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock's price with the company's sales. This is a prefered metric because revenue can't really be manipulated, so sales are often a truer performance indicator. RMAX has a P/S ratio of 0.77. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.94.

These are only a few of the key metrics included in REMAX's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, RMAX looks like an impressive value stock at the moment.
