Hot Cheapest Companies To Invest In Right Now

It might not be obvious to the casual observer, but right now, today, Xerox (NYSE: XRX  ) stock offers one of the best values available in the IT industry. Why?

Three reasons.

Xerox stock is cheap
When you stack up Xerox stock against two of its rivals in the international "business process outsourcing" industry -- Accenture (NYSE: ACN  ) and IBM (NYSE: IBM  ) -- it's clear that Xerox is one of the cheapest options out there. Its 9.7 price-to-earnings ratio falls 32% below the P/E of IBM. It sells for a whopping 45% discount to the price of a share of Accenture.

And as is so often the case, with a low valuation comes a big boost in dividend yield. Xerox stock currently yields a tidy 2.6% dividend. That's as compared with Accenture and IBM, both of which yield less than 2%.
