Low forward earnings multiples alongside strong investor sentiment put these S&P 500 stocks atop the smart-value ranking. APA, Viatris, EOG, Marathon Petroleum, Valero, Phillips 66, Allstate, Diamondback, Everest and Centene trade at 6-15x forward earnings after one-year gains of 17-150%; the accompanying ranking also weighs free-cash-flow yield and momentum. x.comÂ
ResMed is a solid value play in sleep-disorder medtech, and it is unclear why it has been so out of favor. It trades at just 20 times trailing earnings with tons of free cash flow and an average price target of $280. It is now breaking its long downtrend on good volume and holding a supply zone, making it possibly a good add to long-term value holdings. x.com x.comÂ
