Value based investing criteria highlight undervalued

Value based investing criteria highlight undervalued automotive stocks post supply chain recovery. General Motors trades near 5.9x forward earnings, lower than its 3-year average, signaling upside if EV adoption rates accelerate beyond projections. The best returns come from companies that grow their dividends. They just happen to be the focus of the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF . The fund invests in 100 top dividend stocks selected based on their strong dividend growth track records. The ETF tracks an index that screens stocks for several dividend quality characteristics, aiming to hold companies with strong financial profiles. Those characteristics position the companies to continue increasing their dividends. These include, but are not limited to, businesses that have a large-scale global footprint, have an overleveraged capital structure or are part of a complicated carve-out transaction: Telecom equities like AT&T and Verizon remain undervalued, with dividend yields over 6% and forward free cash flow ratios improving. Value based investing sentiment suggests potential 5% price rebound as debt restructuring impacts positively on net income.
