Our Value category highlights undervalued companies by looking at a variety of key metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, as well as the P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that have been used by value investors for years.

GNL currently has a forward P/E ratio of 7.69, while OHI has a forward P/E of 9.84. We also note that GNL has a PEG ratio of 1.28. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. OHI currently has a PEG ratio of 6.07.

Another notable valuation metric for GNL is its P/B ratio of 0.97. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, OHI has a P/B of 1.60.

These are just a few of the metrics contributing to GNL's Value grade of B and OHI's Value grade of C.
