Investing in low P/E stocks is beneficial because these stocks are undervalued compared to their earnings, meaning you pay less for each unit of profit. This offers a margin of safety, reducing potential losses if the market drops. Investors often prefer stocks with growth potential even if their P/E ratio is higher, betting on future earnings increases. However, low P/E stocks have historically provided better returns and lower risk than high P/E stocks. Such stocks usually pay higher dividends, have steady and reliable businesses, grow slowly but consistently, and have less volatility.
