Value investing is always a very popular strategy, and for good reason. After all, who doesn’t want to find stocks that have low PEs, solid outlooks, and decent dividends?

Fortunately for investors looking for this combination, we have identified a strong candidate which may be an impressive value; Cellcom Israel Ltd. (CEL)

Cellcom Israel in Focus

CEL may be an interesting play thanks to its forward PE of 12.41, its P/S ratio of 0.9, and its decent dividend yield of 2%. These factors suggest that Cellcom Israel is a pretty good value pick, as investors have to pay a relatively low level for each dollar of earnings, and that CEL has decent revenue metrics to back up its earnings.

But before you think that Cellcom Israel is just a pure value play, it is important to note that it has been seeing solid activity on the earnings estimate front as well. For current year earnings, the consensus has gone up by 10% in the past 30 days.

This estimate strength is actually enough to push CEL to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), suggesting it is poised to outperform.
