3 Penny Stocks On TSX With Market Caps Below CA$2B

The Canadian market has experienced a pullback recently, with the TSX index declining by about 6.5% since its peak in December, amid political uncertainty and potential shifts in government leadership. Despite this volatility, long-term investors may find opportunities to explore smaller companies that offer growth potential and financial stability. Penny stocks, though an outdated term, remain relevant as they often represent emerging companies that could provide value for those willing to navigate their risks and rewards.
