Value Trap
(redirected from Value Traps)

     0.01 sec.
Value Trap
A stock with a lower-than-usual price that appears to be a value stock but is not. A value trap appears to be undervalued at first glance but its fundamentals are unhealthy and the stock is unlikely to recover in price. One may fall into a value trap by looking only at the stock's price but not at any other financial information.
