The Canadian stock market is showing strong momentum as we head into 2025, driven by resilient consumer spending and rising corporate profits, although investors remain cautious about potential curveballs. Amidst this backdrop, penny stocks—smaller or newer companies that often fly under the radar—continue to offer intriguing opportunities for those willing to explore beyond the dominant mega-cap names. While the term "penny stock" might seem outdated, these investments can still uncover hidden value and financial strength in overlooked sectors of the market.
