3 TSX Penny Stocks With Market Caps Over CA$30M To Watch
Reviewed by Simply Wall St
As the Canadian market maintains strong momentum into 2025, investors are encouraged to remain vigilant for potential challenges that could impact their portfolios. While the broader market enjoys elevated valuations, not all areas share this trend, presenting opportunities in sectors trading at or below historical averages.
