Amid resurfacing concerns over U.S. tariffs, most Gulf markets have seen declines, with the exception of Dubai's main share index which posted modest gains. In such a fluctuating market landscape, identifying stocks with strong fundamentals and growth potential can be challenging yet rewarding. Penny stocks, though an outdated term, still represent opportunities in smaller or newer companies that may offer growth at lower price points when backed by solid financial health.
