Is value investing dead?

No — value has underperformed growth for most of the last 15 years but historically reverts in inflationary or rising-rate regimes. Diversifying across factors smooths the cycle.

Why do cheap stocks stay cheap?

Some businesses are cheap for good reason — terminal decline, capital intensity, or governance issues. The "value trap" is the single biggest practical risk in factor investing.

Best value stocks 2026

Value investing buys companies trading at a discount to intrinsic worth, judged through low price-to-earnings, price-to-book or price-to-FCF ratios. The strongest value names avoid the value trap by combining cheap multiples with stable or improving fundamentals — flat revenue and rising margins is more interesting than declining revenue and falling margins.
