For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals.

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.

Why Investors Should Pay Attention to This Value Stock

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.

Exelon (EXC)

Chicago, IL-based Exelon Corporation completed the previously announced separation of the power generation and competitive energy business, namely Constellation Energy Corp., into a separate entity, which will trade under the symbol “CEG”. Exelon retained the transmission and distribution utility business, which will continue to be called Exelon and trade under the symbol “EXC”. The separation was completed on Feb 1, 2022.

EXC sits at a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), holds a Value Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of B. Compared to the Utility - Electric Power industry's P/E of 18.1X, shares of Exelon are trading at a forward P/E of 16.1X. EXC also has a PEG Ratio of 2.5, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 7.1X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 1.8X.

Many value investors pay close attention to a company's earnings as well. For EXC, five analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.05 to $2.70 per share for 2025. Per share EXC boasts an average earnings surprise of 10.1%.
