As is the case with many investors, the post-pandemic period really shifted my interest in growth stocks into overdrive. I was among the investors I’d say are probably more balanced in terms of my overall investing approach. But it was simply hard to ignore the trends, and I poured heavily into growth stocks during the period in time in which growth stocks really took off.
That said, after trimming back exposure significantly in 2022, I since shifted my focus to other areas of the market I hadn’t looked at much in a few years. Besides bonds, gold and other assets, my attention has increasingly shifted toward value stocks. I’d consider a company a value stock if its valuation is significantly lower than either its sector or benchmark average, and the three companies I’m going to highlight in this piece meet these criteria for me.
