Superior Investments

Picking companies that you feel are selling for less than their inherent value, as determined by the stock’s price in relation to one or more basic business measures, is the goal of value investing, a factor-based investment technique. Price-to-earnings ratios (P/E ratios) are often used to measure value.

If a company’s stock price is low relative to its true worth (as determined by the P/E ratio), value investors believe it will appreciate more quickly than comparable stocks. These companies have a trailing P/E ratio of 12 months or less, making them cheap compared to others.

Top-Stock Investing Risks

Opportunities Lost
By focusing just on the largest publicly traded companies, investors run the risk of missing out on other promising investment options. Small-cap companies, which are often less well-known, sometimes provide the greatest potential for growth. An unheralded biotech startup, for instance, may make a groundbreaking discovery and have its share price soar. Even if investors have a preference for buying high-flying equities, spreading some of their money around helps ensure they don’t miss out on promising possibilities.

Changes in the Trend
The trend favors you… until it doesn’t. Unexpected difficulties may befall even the best large-cap businesses, despite their histories of profits growth and wealth creation for investors. Companies in the cruise industry, such as Carnival Corp. (CCL) and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH), saw their revenue rise in the years leading up to the pandemic but then plummet as a result of no-sail orders and a decline in passenger demand during the global health crisis.

Stop-loss orders should always be used to guard against unexpected trend reversals when investing in top stocks.
