Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
Of these, perhaps no stock market trend is more popular than value investing, which is a strategy that has proven to be successful in all sorts of market environments. Value investors use fundamental analysis and traditional valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are being undervalued by the market at large.
Zacks has developed the innovative Style Scores system to highlight stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will be interested in stocks with great grades in the "Value" category. When paired with a high Zacks Rank, "A" grades in the Value category are among the strongest value stocks on the market today.
Travelzoo (TZOO) is a stock many investors are watching right now. TZOO is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) and an A for Value. The stock holds a P/E ratio of 13.45, while its industry has an average P/E of 24.29. Over the past 52 weeks, TZOO's Forward P/E has been as high as 14.03 and as low as 5.37, with a median of 8.67.
Finally, investors should note that TZOO has a P/CF ratio of 12.61. This metric takes into account a company's operating cash flow and can be used to find stocks that are undervalued based on their solid cash outlook. TZOO's P/CF compares to its industry's average P/CF of 14.62. Within the past 12 months, TZOO's P/CF has been as high as 13.14 and as low as 5.77, with a median of 8.62.
Value investors will likely look at more than just these metrics, but the above data helps show that Travelzoo is likely undervalued currently. And when considering the strength of its earnings outlook, TZOO sticks out at as one of the market's strongest value stocks.

Looks Like The Bull Market's Back (For Now)
During a market pullback last month, I placed two bullish trades, one on Coinbase Global, Inc. , which expired worthless earlier this month, and one on Travelzoo I opened a GTC (Good ‘Till Canceled) order on half of the TZOO options to exit them when they were up 200%, and that trade just filled yesterday. I'm holding out for a bigger gain on the other half of that trade.
♬ Black Sheep – Metric
That small caps like TZOO have been ripping to the upside is one indication that the bull market is back for now. While it is, let's try to make some more money.
Four Bullish Bets
You might think that with the recent market rally it would be easier to find stocks to bet against than bet on, but that hasn't been the case. I did post one short trade on Friday, which filled for me on Monday,
But other names that come up on the same bearish screen look less attractive when I dig into them. For example, some reported earnings this month and beat estimates. I do have four interesting long ideas today though:
Details below, but before we get to them, a reminder: If you're concerned about the next market downturn, you can download our optimal hedging app here.
Bullish Trade #1
The company is Celestica, Inc. and the trade is buying it at or below $54.50 per share and putting a trailing stop of 15% to 20% on it. This trade filled at $54.50.

SEC Filing: TRAVELZOO [ TZOO ] - Form 4 - Aug. 20, 2024
Growth investors focus on stocks that are seeing above-average financial growth, as this feature helps these securities garner the market's attention and deliver solid returns. But finding a great growth stock is not easy at all.
In addition to volatility, these stocks carry above-average risk by their very nature. Also, one could end up losing from a stock whose growth story is actually over or nearing its end.
However, the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects, makes it pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks.
Travelzoo is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank.
Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.
While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this global media commerce company is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:
Earnings Growth
Earnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.
While the historical EPS growth rate for Travelzoo is 45%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 18.7% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 18.1%.
Cash Flow Growth
While cash is the lifeblood of any business, higher-than-average cash flow growth is more important and beneficial for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, growth in cash flow enables these companies to expand their businesses without depending on expensive outside funds.
Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for Travelzoo is 55.4%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of -4.1%.
While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 16.3% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 7.5%.
Promising Earnings Estimate Revisions
Beyond the metrics outlined above, investors should consider the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is a plus here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
The current-year earnings estimates for Travelzoo have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 3.3% over the past month.
Bottom Line
While the overall earnings estimate revisions have made Travelzoo a Zacks Rank #1 stock, it has earned itself a Growth Score of A based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above.
You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
This combination indicates that Travelzoo is a potential outperformer and a solid choice for growth investors.
