Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two credit rating agency stocks, ICRA and CARE Ratings, are trading below the sector’s average price to earnings ratio of close to 33.7 times while both post high return on equity with debt free balance sheets. ICRA trades at the wider discount of the two with a return on equity of 15.37 percent, while CARE Ratings combines a smaller discount with the higher return on equity of the pair at 18.36 percent. This gap between valuation and profitability is why these credit rating agency stocks stand out on a simple sector screen, though a formal buy rating needs deeper company specific research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
