People will argue about what these terms mean. But for me, a value stock is one that trades at a good discount to what the business will be worth in the not-so-distant future. A value trap, on the other hand, is one that looks cheap on the surface, but whose business is becoming less valuable with time.
Here's why I believe Academy Sports and Outdoors (NASDAQ: ASO), Boot Barn (NYSE: BOOT), and Tripadvisor (NASDAQ: TRIP) are all in the value stock category.
