    What Defines a Value Stock?

    A value stock is traditionally defined in terms of how investors in the marketplace are valuing that company's future growth prospects. Low P/E multiples are good base indicators that the company is undervalued and can most likely be labelled as a value stock.

    4. Virco Mfg (NASDAQ:VIRC) - P/E: 3.58
    5. Ark Restaurants (NASDAQ:ARKR) - P/E: 8.82

Most recently, the company reported a dividend yield of 1.51%, which has increased by 0.04% from last quarter's yield of 1.47%.

    Chico's FAS's earnings per share for Q1 sits at $0.32, whereas in Q4, they were at 0.06. Most recently, the company reported a dividend yield of 9.21%, which has increased by 0.84% from last quarter's yield of 8.37%.

    Virco Mfg saw a decrease in earnings per share from 0.25 in Q4 to $-0.09 now. The company's most recent dividend yield sits at 1.4%, which has decreased by 0.06% from 1.46% last quarter.
