The Canadian market remained flat over the last week, but it is up 22% over the past year, with earnings forecasted to grow by 16% annually. In light of these conditions, identifying stocks with strong financial health and growth potential becomes crucial for investors. Although "penny stocks" may seem like an outdated term, they continue to represent smaller or less-established companies that can offer significant value.
