5 Value Stocks To Watch In The Energy Sector

What are Value Stocks?

A value stock is traditionally defined in terms of how investors in the marketplace are valuing that company's future growth prospects. Low P/E multiples are good base indicators that the company is undervalued and can most likely be labelled as a value stock.

Below is a list of notable value stocks in the energy sector:

2 PBF Logistics (NYSE:PBFX) - P/E: 5.89

4 VAALCO Energy (NYSE:EGY) - P/E: 5.62

6 Adams Resources & Energy (AMEX:AE) - P/E: 8.78

8 Oasis Midstream Partners (NASDAQ:OMP) - P/E: 6.57

10 NACCO Industries (NYSE:NC) - P/E: 7.14

This quarter, PBF Logistics experienced a decrease in earnings per share, which was 0.64 in Q2 and is now 0.58. The company's most recent dividend yield sits at 8.75%, which has decreased by 0.4% from 9.15% last quarter.

VAALCO Energy saw an increase in earnings per share from 0.14 in Q2 to 0.17 now. Most recently, Adams Resources & Energy reported earnings per share at 0.41, whereas in Q2 earnings per share sat at 0.44.
