3 TSX Penny Stocks With Market Caps Under CA$200M To Consider

Published

The Canadian market is showing strong momentum as it heads into 2025, supported by resilient consumer spending, rising corporate profits, and the beginning of a rate-cutting cycle. While optimism is high, investors are advised to remain cautious of potential challenges and consider diversifying their portfolios with value-style investments. Penny stocks—though an older term—continue to present unique opportunities for growth in smaller or newer companies that demonstrate financial strength and long-term potential.
