As the ASX200 hovers near the 8,000-point mark, investors are reminded of the importance of caution amid global trade tensions and fluctuating commodity prices. In this climate, penny stocks—though an older term—represent a compelling area for investment by highlighting smaller or less-established companies that might offer significant value. By focusing on those with strong financials and clear growth potential, investors can uncover promising opportunities within these often-overlooked sectors.
