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

Many investors also have a go-to methodology that helps guide their buy and sell decisions. One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.

Value investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Headquartered in Massachusetts, Affiliated Managers Group is a global asset manager with investments in high-quality, independent partner-owned firms or affiliates.

AMG 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 9.1X for the current fiscal year compared to the Financial - Investment Management industry's P/E 12.2X. Additionally, AMG has a PEG Ratio of 0.6 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 8.6X. Value investors should also note AMG's Price/Sales ratio of 3X.

Value investors don't just pay attention to a company's valuation ratios; positive earnings play a crucial role, too. Four analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2025. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.32 to $23.33. AMG has an average earnings surprise of 3%.

Investors should take the time to consider AMG for their portfolios due to its solid Zacks Ranks, notable earnings and valuation metrics, and impressive Value and VGM Style Scores.
