Global markets have recently experienced broad-based gains, with U.S. indexes nearing record highs and smaller-cap indexes outperforming their larger counterparts. In this context, penny stocks—often seen as a niche investment area—continue to offer intriguing opportunities for growth, especially when they are backed by strong financial health. Despite being considered a somewhat outdated term, penny stocks can still represent significant potential for investors seeking hidden value in smaller or newer companies.

Market Cap: CN¥16.37B
