最佳价值黄金股

价值投资是一种基于因素的投资策略，它包括选择你认为交易价格低于其内在价值的股票，通常通过衡量股票价格与一个或多个基本商业指标的比率。一个被广泛接受的价值指标是市盈率。价值投资者认为，如果一个企业相对于其内在价值而言是廉价的，在这种情况下，以其市盈率衡量，股价可能会比其他企业上涨得更快，因为价格回到与公司价值相符的水平。这些股票的12个月跟踪市盈率最低。

Fastest Growing Gold Stocks

These are the top gold stocks as ranked by a growth model that scores companies based on a 50/50 weighting of their most recent quarterly year-over-year (YOY) percentage revenue growth and their most recent quarterly YOY earnings per share (EPS) growth. Both sales and earnings are critical factors in the success of a company. Therefore ranking companies by only one growth metric makes a ranking susceptible to the accounting anomalies of that quarter (such as changes in tax law or restructuring costs) that may make one or the other figure unrepresentative of the business in general. Companies with quarterly EPS or revenue growth of over 2,500% were excluded as outliers.

Gold Stocks with the Most Momentum

Momentum investing is a factor-based investing strategy that involves investing in a stock whose price has risen faster than the market as a whole. Momentum investors believe that stocks that have outperformed the market will often continue to do so because the factors that caused them to outperform will not suddenly disappear. In addition, other investors, seeking to benefit from the stock's outperformance, will often purchase the stock, further bidding its price higher and pushing the stock higher still. These are the stocks that had the highest total return over the last 12 months.
