3 Key Takeaways
Investors still love the large cap stocks.
Which stocks have high Zacks Ranks and low PEG ratios right now?
International companies, gold miners, and, surprisingly, a tech giant, make the list.
Welcome to Episode #408 of the Value Investor Podcast.
Every week, Tracey Ryniec, the editor of Zacks Value Investor portfolio, shares some of her top value investing tips and stock picks.
Small cap value stocks have historically been one of the best performing asset classes over the last 80 years. But in the last 15 years, they have underperformed the large cap stocks, mostly due to the high concentration of small banks which have struggled to recover from the financial crisis.
Instead of fighting the trend, why shouldn't value investors embrace it and buy large caps?
Screening for Large Cap Value Stocks
Tracey built a screen looking for the two top Zacks Ranks of #1s, which are Strong Buys, and #2s, which are Buys. Screening for the top Ranks should mean it will include stocks that have rising earnings estimates.
To find value, Tracey used the PEG ratio which looks at the price-to-earnings ratio and divides it by growth. A PEG ratio under 1.0 usually indicates a company has both growth and value.
For large caps, Tracey went larger than the usual $10 billion market cap and screened for those with at least $20 billion.
This screen produced 22 stocks.

Federal judge rules Trump administration cannot reallocate billions meant for disaster mitigation
The Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters is shown in Washington on May 5, 2025. (Gene J. Puskar / AP Photo) BOSTON — A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from reallocating US$4 billion meant to help communities protect against natural disasters. U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns in Boston granted a preliminary injunction sought by 20 Democrat-led states while their lawsuit over the funding moves ahead. A spokesperson for the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The states argued FEMA lacked the authority to end the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program and redirect more than $4 billion of its funding. The program aims to harden infrastructure around the country against potential storm damage. FEMA initially announced it was ending the program, but later said in a court filing that it was evaluating it. Noting money for the program was allocated by Congress, the states' lawsuit says any attempt to redirect it would run afoul of the Constitution. A lawyer for the government, Nicole O'Connor, argued at a hearing in July that the funds can be used both for disaster recovery and disaster prevention and that FEMA should have discretion to use the money how it sees fit. In his ruling, Stearns said he was not convinced Congress had given FEMA any discretion to redirect the funds. The states had also shown that the 'balance of hardship and public interest' was in their favor. 'There is an inherent public interest in ensuring that the government follows the law, and the potential hardship accruing to the States from the funds being repurposed is great,' Stearns wrote. 'The BRIC program is designed to protect against natural disasters and save lives.' The program has provided grants for a range of disaster management projects, including strengthening electrical grids, constructing levees for flood protection and relocating vulnerable water treatment facilities. Many of the projects are in rural communities. FEMA said in a news release in April that it was 'ending' the program, but the agency's acting chief, David Richardson, later said in a court filing that FEMA was merely evaluating whether to end or revise it. Stearns said it appeared FEMA had decided to end the program and was 'inching towards a fait accompli,' noting it had cancelled new funding opportunities and told stakeholders they shouldn't expect any unobligated funding. The states, including California, New York and Washington, argued that the threat of losing the funding alone had put numerous projects at risk of being cancelled, delayed or downsized. And they warned ending the program would be highly imprudent. 'By proactively fortifying our communities against disasters before they strike, rather than just responding afterward, we will reduce injuries, save lives, protect property, and, ultimately, save money that would otherwise be spent on post-disaster costs,' they wrote in the suit filed in July. FEMA said in a court filing that an injunction on its use of the funds could hamper its ability to respond to major disasters. But Stearns said the administration could come back to him to release funding should a disaster of 'unprecedented proportions' occur. Jack Brook and Michael Casey, The Associated Press
