Value stocks are shares trading for less than what the underlying business is worth. The classic value-investing thesis — popularized by Benjamin Graham and refined by Warren Buffett — is that the market periodically misprices durable businesses, and disciplined investors can buy them at a discount and wait for the gap to close. The catch: cheap is not the same as undervalued. Most stocks that screen as the cheapest are cheap for good reason — failing business, weak balance sheet, structural decline. A useful value screen needs to separate genuine bargains from value traps.
This screener does exactly that. It surfaces stocks rated Undervalued or Modestly Undervalued by GuruFocus's proprietary GF Valuation™ model — and then applies a strict quality floor: only stocks with a GF Score™ of 80 or higher qualify. The result is a focused list of undervalued, high-quality stocks updated daily — the kind of value setup a Buffett-style investor actually wants, rather than the deep-discount bin where the broken businesses cluster.
Each stock in the list passes both filters today. Click any ticker for the full GuruFocus stock report with 30 years of financial data, GF Score breakdown, valuation history, and analyst coverage.

The screen combines two complementary signals — a valuation rating and a quality composite — so the list captures stocks that are both attractively priced and fundamentally sound. The list refreshes daily.

GF Valuation Rating
GuruFocus's proprietary GF Valuation rating classifies every stock against its GF Value fair-value estimate. This screen accepts only stocks rated Undervalued or Modestly Undervalued — a meaningful discount to fair value, but not the extreme-discount tier where distressed names cluster.
The GF Score is a 0–100 composite rank built from five backtested dimensions: Financial Strength, Profitability, Growth, GF Value, and Momentum. Requiring a score of 80 or higher filters out value traps — stocks that look cheap but score poorly on profitability or balance-sheet strength.
Combining valuation with the GF Score quality floor specifically excludes the deepest-discount bucket and any low-quality names. The result is the intersection where moderately undervalued meets fundamentally sound — historically the most rewarding part of the value spectrum.
SC
Sector-Agnostic Coverage
GF Valuation and GF Score are computed across every sector. The screen doesn't pre-tilt toward financials, energy, or other usual deep-value pockets — you'll see consumer, industrial, technology, healthcare, and other names whenever the models flag them as undervalued and high-quality.
WB
Buffett-Style Discipline
Warren Buffett famously evolved from Graham's cheap-anything approach to the principle of buying wonderful companies at fair prices. This screen sits in the same tradition: quality is non-negotiable, and the valuation discount is a bonus — not the sole reason to own the stock.
Prices and any newly reported quarterly fundamentals are re-pulled daily, so the list adapts to overnight moves and new earnings releases. The underlying GF Value fair-value estimate itself refreshes quarterly with new financial statements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Value stocks are shares trading for less than their estimated business value. The strategy was popularized by Benjamin Graham, formalized by Warren Buffett, and remains one of the most studied factors in modern investing. In practice, value stocks tend to have lower price-to-earnings, price-to-book, and price-to-sales ratios than the broader market — but raw cheapness alone is not enough. The most successful value screens add a quality filter to avoid value traps.
The list above shows the current best value stocks based on the GuruFocus screener: stocks rated Undervalued or Modestly Undervalued by the GF Valuation model with a GF Score of 80 or higher. The list updates daily as prices and fundamentals change. Each ticker links to its full GuruFocus stock report so you can review the GF Score breakdown, valuation history, and 30 years of financials before making any decision.
Three steps. First, estimate what each business is worth independent of its current market price — GuruFocus uses the proprietary GF Value model, which blends historical valuation multiples, earnings power, and an industry-relative overlay. Second, compare market price to that estimate (the GF Valuation rating). Third, filter the discounted names through a quality screen so you don't end up holding value traps. This screener automates all three steps.
Value stocks trade below fair-value estimates and tend to grow earnings at a slow-to-moderate pace; the return comes from multiple re-rating, dividends, and stable compounding. Growth stocks trade at above-average multiples on the expectation of faster earnings expansion; the return comes from the compounding of those higher earnings. Both styles can work in different macro regimes, which is why many investors hold both. See also: <a href="/screener/top-growth-rank" class="fc-primary fw-bolder">Top Growth Rank</a> screener.
Value stocks have historically outperformed growth stocks over long holding periods (decades), but the relative performance is cyclical and depends on the valuation spread between value and growth at any given moment. Rather than betting on the broad value-vs-growth rotation, focus on individual undervalued names with strong fundamentals — which is exactly what this screener surfaces. As always, past performance does not guarantee future returns.
Pure cheapness is the classic value-investing failure mode. Cheap stocks with weak fundamentals usually underperform because the discount reflects real problems the market has already priced in. Pairing the GF Valuation rating with a GF Score quality floor (≥ 80) specifically excludes those value traps and surfaces stocks where the discount looks tactical, not structural — the Buffett-Munger version of value investing rather than the Graham deep-value version.
The list updates daily as prices and any newly reported fundamentals refresh. The GF Valuation rating itself is recomputed daily based on the latest price relative to the GF Value fair-value estimate, and the GF Value estimate refreshes quarterly when new financial statements come in. Rankings are computed per country, so the list reflects the current state of each country's stock universe.
