Global markets have shown resilience with U.S. indexes approaching record highs, buoyed by a strong labor market and positive home sales reports, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and policy uncertainties. In this context, penny stocks—often smaller or newer companies—continue to present intriguing opportunities for investors seeking potential growth at a lower entry cost. Though the term may seem outdated, these stocks can offer significant upside when backed by solid financials, making them worth watching in today's evolving market landscape.
