Are Investors Undervaluing Tyson Foods (TSN) Right Now?

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.Of these, perhaps no stock market trend is more popular than value investing, which is a strategy that has proven to be successful in all sorts of market environments. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with both "A" grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now.One stock to keep an eye on is Tyson Foods (TSN). TSN is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A.Investors will also notice that TSN has a PEG ratio of 0.70.

Over the past 52 weeks, TSN's PEG has been as high as 0.94 and as low as 0.28, with a median of 0.35.Another valuation metric that we should highlight is TSN's P/B ratio of 1.10.
