Global markets have recently been influenced by rising U.S. Treasury yields, leading to mixed performances across major indices, with large-cap and growth stocks showing relative resilience. For investors interested in exploring opportunities beyond the mainstream, penny stocks—despite their somewhat antiquated name—remain a noteworthy area of interest. These stocks often represent smaller or newer companies that can offer potential growth at lower price points, especially when they are backed by strong financial health and fundamentals.
