Value Stock
See: Value. See: Value Investing. See: Value Proposition. See: Value of Risk.
Stocks that some investors think are selling for less than they're actually worth.
These stocks are often companies that were once great, but then stumbled. That is, there is great value in them that the market is skeptically not counting at the moment, given the $7.87 a share at which the stock is trading right now.
The company has fallen on tough times because of a sales slump, bad press, or...alien invasion. GE was once worth $50+ a share as priced by the stock market. It then fell to $8. Maybe a huge buying opportunity for a great value stock...or the end of an era, as GE slides into oblivion.
