This week, Zacks Equity Strategist Mayur Thaker, CFA, discusses:

• The Zacks Deep Value Portfolio, our newest portfolio of 30 high-conviction stocks. These businesses are a cross between high value and high quality, and Mayur dives into how Zacks targets this cross between quality businesses and attractive prices.

• He shares the criteria required for a business to succeed and describes the Zacks approach to value investing. One thing these companies have in common is substantial multiple compression to normalized earnings and an established track record of core quality characteristics.

• Lastly, Mayur shares a case study using Albemarle (ALB), the world’s largest lithium producer for EVs, battery storage systems, and consumer electronics. He ends the call sharing top ideas in Deep Value Cyclicals, including Littelfuse (LFUS), Bank OZK (OZK), and more. Don’t miss this valuablestrategy call that introduces our latest portfolio.
