Featured Question
Q. “Please explain Value investing vs growth investing. Hiw does one identify which stock is value /growth?”
There are many stock picking strategies. These two are the most talked about strategies.
Value investing:
The idea behind value investing is to pick up stocks for a price that is fair or lower.
Paying a high price for a stock is a no no.
Of course, the definition of ‘fair’ is different for different investors. It is subjective. There’s no clear formula for it.
Value investors tend to pay a lot of attention to the fundamentals like revenue, earnings, debt, cash flow, etc.
Growth investing:
The idea behind this is that it is okay to pay an overvalued price for a stock as long as it grows very fast.
If a stock price rises high enough, a slightly overvalued price is still going to lead to profits.
Growth investors tend to pay a lot more attention to revenue growth, future potential, ability to scale, total addressable market, ability of the management, etc.
They tend to be more comfortable with higher valuations/overvalued stocks.
Growth investing is considered riskier than value investing.
Value stocks vs growth stocks
- Growth stocks tend to have higher valuations (higher PE ratio, PB ratio, etc)
- Growth stocks’ earnings growth is higher
- Volatility and risk is also higher in case of growth stocks
- Growth stocks tend to require a longer investment horizon from investors
- Value stocks tend to give higher dividends
In short: value investors want to pay a fair price for shares. Growth investors are betting on future potential.
Something investors need to understand is that there is no clear definition for what a growth stock is and what a value stock is.
It is a bit loosely discussed.
Many investors do not like these two words at all because their definitions can be vague.
