Global markets have experienced a turbulent start to the year, with U.S. equities facing challenges from inflation concerns and political uncertainties, while European stocks showed resilience amid expectations of interest rate adjustments. In such volatile conditions, investors often seek opportunities in lesser-known areas of the market that may offer growth potential at lower entry points. Penny stocks, despite their somewhat outdated label, continue to capture attention as they represent smaller or newer companies with the potential for significant returns when backed by strong financials.
