ValuEngine Weekly: Construction Stocks, Intel, Valuation Watch, and More

This week, we provide top-five ranked VE data for our Construction Sector stocks. We take a look at our latest data on Intel $INTC and provide a free download link for our stock report on the company. Because overvaluation has crept up again, we now have another Valuation Watch.

VALUATION WATCH: Overvalued stocks now make up 61.23% of our stocks assigned a valuation and 23.64% of those equities are calculated to be overvalued by 20% or more. Because overvaluation has once again increased above 60%, we have re-insitituted a Valuation Watch. Fifteen sectors are calculated to be overvalued.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We will be publishing on an adjusted schedule for the 2017 holidays–T,TH,F, and then resume our regular M,W,F publication schedule beginning January 8, 2018
