Investors looking for bargains may want to consider the following three businesses, as their stocks have a low price-to-median-price-sales-value when compared to the average of the S&P 500 (which stands at 1.54 as of the writing of this article).

The ratio has the current share price as the numerator and the trailing twelve-month revenue per share times the 10-year median price-sales ratio as the denominator.
Wall Street is also optimistic about these companies, as sell-side analysts

Shares of America's largest used-car retailer CarMax Inc. (KMX) are down more than 9% after the company reported the earnings results for its third quarter of fiscal 2021 last week. The company posted earnings and revenue that topped analyst expectations amid a challenging business environment.
Shares of CarMax are now up 105% since bottoming in March, but are only up about 1.67% year-to-date. In my opinion, this suggests that despite the impressive rally over the last nine months, there could still be some room left to run.

With the end of the third quarter just around the corner, investors can probably expect another round of earnings reports in which many publicly traded companies offer no guidance on future earnings. This will once again serve as a source of anxiety for some investors, who could feel they are missing out on a key insight into where the companies they own plan to be in the coming months.
The typical new excuse for not offering guidance is, of course, the Covid-19 pandemic. In many industries, such as travel, leisure and restaurants, this is to be expected, as no one
