As global markets react to rising U.S. Treasury yields, the S&P 500 has experienced a decline after six weeks of gains, while the Nasdaq Composite managed a slight increase. In these shifting market conditions, investors often seek opportunities in overlooked areas such as penny stocks. Though the term 'penny stock' might sound like a relic of past trading days, they can still offer significant potential for growth when backed by strong financials.
