5 Value Stocks In The Real Estate Sector

The Meaning Behind Value Stocks

A value stock is traditionally defined in terms of how investors in the marketplace are valuing that company's future growth prospects. Low P/E multiples are good base indicators that the company is undervalued and can most likely be labelled as a value stock.

The following stocks are considered to be notable value stocks in the real estate sector:

2 New Residential Inv (NYSE:NRZ) - P/E: 9.86

4 PotlatchDeltic (NASDAQ:PCH) - P/E: 7.03

6 IRSA Propiedades (NASDAQ:IRCP) - P/E: 1.75

8 Two Harbors Investment (NYSE:TWO) - P/E: 4.55
