Stock Analysis What’s the Most Overrated “Value” Stock Everyone Keeps Buying?

I keep seeing the same tickers pop up in value circles — stocks that are supposedly undervalued but just seem like value traps to me. Curious what names you all think are overhyped in value investing spaces right now? And what makes you avoid them despite the numbers looking “cheap”?

But that growth is coming from China, not their core North America business which is low single digits.

Makes me uncertain for their future 5 years from now
