Should Value Investors Buy Carrier Global Corporation (CARR) Stock?

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

Of these, perhaps no stock market trend is more popular than value investing, which is a strategy that has proven to be successful in all sorts of market environments. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.

Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with both "A" grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now.

One company to watch right now is Carrier Global Corporation (CARR). CARR is currently holding a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock has a Forward P/E ratio of 16.18. This compares to its industry's average Forward P/E of 18.46. Over the past year, CARR's Forward P/E has been as high as 16.66 and as low as 7.53, with a median of 13.39.

Another valuation metric that we should highlight is CARR's P/B ratio of 6.87. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This stock's P/B looks attractive against its industry's average P/B of 9.12. Over the past 12 months, CARR's P/B has been as high as 6.98 and as low as 3.69, with a median of 5.36.

These are just a handful of the figures considered in Carrier Global Corporation's great Value grade. Still, they help show that the stock is likely being undervalued at the moment. Add this to the strength of its earnings outlook, and we can clearly see that CARR is an impressive value stock right now.
