<h3>What is a Value Stock?</h3>
<p>A value stock traditionally has a lower price when compared to stock prices of companies in the same industry. This indicates that the company may be undervalued, as investors are not expressing as much interest in such companies. The most commonly used way to check for value is with the price-to-earnings multiple, or P/E. A low P/E multiple is a good indication that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<h2>The following stocks are considered to be notable value stocks in the financial services sector:</h2>

Unleashing Growth Potential: Riverview Bancorp Surpasses Expectations with Strong Performance and Increasing Profits

<p>Monday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next  dividend payout from <strong>United Security</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBFO#NASDAQ">UBFO</a>). </p>
<h3>What's Happening</h3>

<p>In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Tuesday. Shareholders who own UBFO as of the end of Monday's session are eligible to receive the 12 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. </p>

<p>Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next  dividend payout from <strong>United Security</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBFO#NASDAQ">UBFO</a>). </p>

<p><strong>JAGROOP GILL</strong>, Director at <strong>United Security</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBFO#NASDAQ">UBFO</a>), reported a large insider buy on September 21, according to a new SEC filing. </p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> A Form 4 filing from the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001137547/000113754723000128//Archives/edgar/data/1137547/000113754723000128/0001137547-23-000128-index.htm">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> on Thursday showed that GILL purchased 34,503 shares of United Security.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
<p>Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. </p>
<p>In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any shareholder who owns at least 10% of a company. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.</p>
<p>When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.</p>
<p>Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.  </p>
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A  <strong>P</strong> in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while  <strong>S</strong> indicates a sale. Transaction code <strong>C</strong> indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code <strong>A</strong> indicates the insider may have been forced to sell shares in order to receive compensation that had been promised upon being hired by the company.</p>
