As newly announced tariffs and inflation concerns continue to drive market volatility, Canadian investors are navigating a landscape where economic growth could face headwinds. Amidst these challenges, penny stocks—often representing smaller or newer companies—remain an intriguing area for potential investment. While the term "penny stocks" may seem outdated, these securities can offer opportunities for growth at lower price points when backed by strong financials and solid fundamentals.
