Global markets have shown robust performance recently, with the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq Composite reaching all-time highs amid easing geopolitical tensions and positive trade developments. For investors willing to explore beyond traditional large-cap stocks, penny stocks—though an antiquated term—remain a relevant investment area. These smaller or newer companies can offer surprising value when backed by solid financials, providing opportunities for significant returns while maintaining balance sheet strength.
