Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.

Achieving those goals is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on popular investing methodologies, namely value, growth, and momentum. The Style Scores can help you narrow down which stocks are better for your portfolio and which ones can beat the market over the long-term.

Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Barrick Mining Corporation, based in Toronto, Canada, is among the largest gold mining companies in the world. The company has many advanced exploration and development projects located across five continents. It has one of the largest portfolios of world-class gold and copper assets in the industry, spanning 18 countries.

B is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, with a Value Style Score of A and VGM Score of A. Shares are currently trading at a forward P/E of 13.4X for the current fiscal year compared to the Mining - Gold industry's P/E 13.4X. Additionally, B has a PEG Ratio of 0.5 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 11X. Value investors should also note B's Price/Sales ratio of 3.2X.

A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, four analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for B, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.08 to $1.95 per share. B also holds an average earnings surprise of 6.7%.
