Value stocks typically trade at discounts to the broader market, offering patient investors the opportunity to buy businesses when they’re out of favor. The key risk, however, is that these stocks are usually cheap for a reason – five cents for a piece of fruit may seem like a great deal until you find out it’s rotten.
This distinction between true value and value traps can challenge even the most skilled investors. Luckily for you, we started StockStory to help you uncover exceptional companies. That said, here is one value stock with strong fundamentals and two best left ignored.
Two Value Stocks to Sell:
EverQuote (EVER)
Forward EV/EBITDA Ratio: 3.7x
Aiming to simplify a once complicated process, EverQuote (NASDAQ: EVER) is an online insurance marketplace where consumers can compare and purchase various types of insurance from different providers
Why Does EVER Give Us Pause?
- Expensive marketing campaigns hurt its profitability and make us wonder what would happen if it let up on the gas
At $16.11 per share, EverQuote trades at 3.7x forward EV/EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with EVER, check out our full research report (it’s free).
Array (ARRY)
Forward P/E Ratio: 12.2x
Going public in October 2020, Array (NASDAQ: ARRY) is a global manufacturer of ground-mounting tracking systems for utility and distributed generation solar energy projects.
Why Do We Think Twice About ARRY?

Array’s stock price of $8.52 implies a valuation ratio of 12.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including ARRY in your portfolio.
