So an easy way to play value at this time is to buy shares of an exchange traded fund that tracks the Russell 1000 Value Index RLV, +0.32%, such as the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF IWD, +0.31% or the Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF VONV, +0.32%. As always, do your own research on any investment you consider to make an informed decisions.

There are 16 companies on the list that are expected to produce double-digit increases in sales in 2021, including Skyworks Solutions Inc. SWKS, +3.63% and Qualcomm Inc. QCOM, +3.03%. Both are expected to grow their revenues by 21% this year.
