The tool allows search for stocks by region, country, industry, market capitalization, and currency as to identify undervalued stocks worldwide.

Investors can then use a number of financial metrics, such as the P/E/G Ratio, to assess whether the potential of a value stock.

The ratio is PE divided by three-year compound earnings growth rate. PEGs below 1.0 suggest a company is undervalued, while a PEG above 1.0 suggests a company that is overvalued.
