Value Investing Checklist

For value investing, criteria include: PE ideally < 15 (lower is better), PB < 1.5 (lower is better), positive cash flow from operations, manageable debt levels (debt-to-equity < 1 is good, 0 is fantastic), and strong promoter holding (continued or increased holding is a good sign). A negative market sentiment towards the stock is also a factor for getting a bargain.
