Top Low Price Stocks For 2023


If you’re on the hunt for value stocks to buy, you’ve come to the right place.

In an ode to Ben Graham, arguably the father of investing, I’m going to pull together a list of 10 stocks trading below book value that I believe will appreciate over the next 12 to 24 months.

However, it’s not going to be easy.

I came across an online Barron’s article that discussed the difficulty of buying stocks below book value, as Graham did back in his prime.

Michael Green, portfolio manager at Moody Aldrich Partners “notes that just 6% of New York Stock Exchange companies now trade under book value, versus 25% in March 2000, when the major averages peaked (Green excludes closed-end and bond funds in making this calculation.),” Andrew Bary wrote in 2004.

“Cheap stocks actually were more plentiful during the market bubble than they are now, due to the narrow breadth of the technology-led market advance in 1999 and early 2000. Over the past 75 years, low price-book stocks on the Big Board were most abundant at the historic market bottoms of 1932 and 1975.”

    One of the biggest mistakes I made after joining InvestorPlace was to give up on Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) stock.

    I had a nice profit. I could have stayed in. But, fearing the process of demographic change – young people moving into small apartments – I bailed.

    Finally, Cramer called out Costco  (COST) – Get Report for giving customers an incredible amount of value and service that Amazon will never be able to match.

    The California Public Employees’ Retirement System bought more Moderna (ticker: MRNA), Costco Wholesale (COST), and Carnival (CCL) stock, and cut its investment in Coca-Cola (KO) in the second quarter.

    Other Cramer favs that have pricing power include Costco  (COST) – Get Report, the retailer with a yearly membership that no one can live without. Then there's Netflix  (NFLX) – Get Report, which has seen several price increases over the years, all of which were panned initially, but none of which affected the company's bottom line.
