As we enter 2025, the Canadian market is navigating a landscape marked by rising government bond yields and political shifts, with investors focusing on fundamentals rather than headlines. In this context, penny stocks—often smaller or newer companies—remain an intriguing area for those seeking potential growth opportunities at a lower entry cost. While the term "penny stocks" may seem outdated, their potential for value and growth continues to attract attention when backed by strong financials.
