Investing in low P/E stocks offers key advantages as these shares trade at lower prices relative to their earnings, so you pay less for each dollar of profit. This built-in margin of safety helps cushion against market downturns and potential losses. Although some investors chase high P/E stocks for explosive growth, historical data reveals that low P/E options often deliver superior returns with less risk. They typically provide higher dividends, stem from mature and stable companies, grow steadily, and show reduced price swings.
