Although the term "penny stocks" might seem outdated, these low-priced shares can offer significant growth potential when backed by strong financials and sound fundamentals.

Its short-term assets exceed short-term liabilities, though they fall short of covering long-term obligations. Despite a low return on equity at 5.8%, earnings are forecasted to grow significantly at 26.14% annually.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily through its property management services, amounting to CN¥6.84 billion.

Market Cap: HK$3.84B

Ever Sunshine Services Group, with a market cap of HK$3.84 billion, is trading at 40.3% below its estimated fair value, suggesting potential undervaluation in the penny stock segment.

Short-term assets of CN¥6 billion comfortably cover both short and long-term liabilities, while earnings have grown by 10% over the past year—outpacing industry averages despite a low return on equity of 11%. Recent executive changes may influence future strategic direction, but dividend sustainability remains uncertain amidst insider selling activities.

Market Cap: SGD287.43M

Recent executive changes saw Mr. Goh Chee Yong promoted to CFO, potentially strengthening financial strategy execution. Furthermore, new contracts worth MYR61.9 million across global markets boost the order book to MYR402.4 million, likely enhancing financial performance for FY2025 despite recent share price volatility and higher weekly volatility than most SG stocks.
