3 UK Penny Stocks With Market Caps Above £10M

Published

The UK market has recently faced challenges, with the FTSE 100 index experiencing declines due to weak trade data from China, highlighting global economic interdependencies. Amid these broader market fluctuations, investors often turn their attention to penny stocks—smaller or newer companies that can offer unique growth opportunities at lower price points. While the term "penny stock" might seem outdated, these investments remain relevant for those seeking potential upside backed by solid financial fundamentals and resilience in uncertain times.

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: Argentex Group PLC offers tailored currency risk management and payment solutions in the United Kingdom, with a market capitalization of £51.30 million.

However, Argentex remains debt-free and has strong asset coverage for both short-term (£58M) and long-term liabilities (£13.8M).
