Methodology#
Screen: trailing P/E between 3 and 15 (below 3 usually signals distress or one-off earnings, so those are excluded as noise) and market cap of $10B or more, ranked cheapest first. P/E, P/S and P/B are computed from SEC EDGAR trailing-twelve-month fundamentals and refresh with quarterly filings; returns are total returns (dividends reinvested), updated daily. See the valuation dip screener for stocks cheap relative to their own history. Past performance does not predict future returns; not investment advice.
FAQ#
- What is the cheapest large-cap stock by P/E?
- Charter Communications Inc. (CHTR) is currently the cheapest US large cap by trailing P/E, at about 3.7× earnings.
- Is a low P/E stock always a good buy?
- A low P/E is a starting point, not a verdict: it can mean an undervalued business or one whose earnings are about to shrink (a "value trap"). Check earnings direction, debt and the sector context — cyclicals at peak earnings often look cheapest right before profits fall.
