3 Promising Penny Stocks With Market Caps Under US$500M

As global markets experience broad-based gains, with U.S. indexes approaching record highs and smaller-cap indexes outperforming large-caps, investors are increasingly looking for opportunities in under-the-radar sectors. Penny stocks, often representing smaller or newer companies, offer a unique avenue for growth at lower price points despite their somewhat outdated moniker. When these stocks are supported by strong financial health and solid fundamentals, they can provide significant upside potential without many of the typical risks associated with this investment area.
