The quant industry has historically mislabeled the 'value factor' (low multiples) when it should be called something broader, because true value investing is holistic and a high-multiple company can be valuable if it has sufficient growth potential, making low multiples a useful signal but not the definition of value.

Evidence Quote

I don't think the quant should have called low multiples. The value factor, it's not. Value is more holistic...You could have a high multiple company that is value if you think it's gonna grow enough.
