The Cheapest Stock on Wall Street: Revealed

As the markets look to recover after a 10-week decline, it’s smart to look for some of the best bargains on Wall Street.

Karim did this during the COVID Crash – which led to his enormous winner on Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE: CLF).

Taking his methodology a step further…

I scanned for stocks on the S&P 500 with the lowest price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios based on projected 2022 earnings. And right now the cheapest stock in that scan is U.S. Steel (NYSE: X), which has a P/E ratio of 1.9.

========================

*NOTE: For reference, Warren Buffett considers a stock with a P/E ratio of 10 a good value. So at 1.9, you can see how attractive U.S. Steel is.

*NOTE II: As a quick refresher, P/E is a measure of a company’s current share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS). P/E ratios are used to determine the relative value of a company’s shares in an apples-to-apples comparison. Right now, U.S. Steel has the lowest ratio of earnings per share to stock valuation on all of Wall Street.

=========================

As a general description, U.S. Steel produces and sells flat-rolled and tubular steel products, primarily in North America and Europe.

The company was founded in 1901 and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

It’s logical to wonder…

“Why is U.S. Steel so low?”

 

Well, the auto industry accounts for 25% of steel demand in the United States, and as I’m sure you know, it’s been operating below capacity due to the chip shortage. As we look toward 2023 – and the chip shortage gets corrected – production could see a major boost.

Action Plan: If you’re looking at the current market pullback and wondering what the cheapest stock to buy at these bargain-basement levels is, U.S. Steel (NYSE: X) – in my opinion – is your best bet.
