Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
While you may have an investing style you rely on, finding great stocks is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores. These are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on value, growth, and/or momentum characteristics.
Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Telefonica Brasil S.A. is the Brazilian subsidiary of Spanish telecom giant Telefonica SA. With the acquisition of Vivo, Telefonica Brasil became the largest telecom operator in Brazil in terms of revenues.
VIV sits at a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), holds a Value Style Score of A, and has a VGM Score of A. Compared to the Diversified Communication Services industry's P/E of 13X, shares of Telefonica Brasil are trading at a forward P/E of 13.1X. VIV also has a PEG Ratio of 0.8, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 3.7X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 1.3X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2024, one analyst revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for VIV, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.02 to $0.63 per share. VIV also holds an average earnings surprise of 10%.
VIV should be on investors' short lists because of its impressive earnings and valuation fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and strong Value and VGM Style Scores.
