Why Kronos Worldwide (KRO) Could Be a Top Value Stock Pick

Value investing is always a very popular strategy, and for good reason. After all, who doesn’t want to find stocks that have low PEs, solid outlooks, and decent dividends?

Fortunately for investors looking for this combination, we have identified a strong candidate which may be an impressive value; Kronos Worldwide, Inc. KRO.

Kronos Worldwide in Focus

KRO may be an interesting play thanks to its forward PE of 14.8, its P/S ratio of 0.9, and its decent dividend yield of 5%. These factors suggest that Kronos Worldwide is a pretty good value pick, as investors have to pay a relatively low level for each dollar of earnings, and that KRO has decent revenue metrics to back up its earnings.

But before you think that Kronos Worldwide is just a pure value play, it is important to note that it has been seeing solid activity on the earnings estimate front as well. For current year earnings, the consensus has gone up by 18.3% in the past 30 days, thanks to one upward revision in the past one month compared to none lower.

This estimate strength is actually enough to push KRO to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), suggesting it is poised to outperform. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
