Two Approaches to Stock Selection

Growth Investing

Focus on companies with above-average revenue and earnings growth. These stocks often trade at premium valuations with higher P/E ratios.

Value Investing

Seek undervalued stocks trading below intrinsic value. Value investors look for low P/E, P/B ratios and margin of safety.

Which Is Better?

Neither approach is universally superior. Growth outperforms in bull markets while value tends to shine during recoveries and periods of uncertainty.
