But value stocks are still alive and well.

The Zacks Rank can change daily. It’s based on analyst earnings estimate revisions. During earnings season, it sees a lot of shifts.
But if you screen with the Zacks Rank, it can uncover companies that are seeing an increase in their consensus estimate which can indicate something positive is going on at that company.
For value, you can add any of the common value fundamentals. In this case, those would be the P/E ratio under 15 and the P/S ratio under 1.0.
Running that screen, it returned 56 stocks.
