3 US Penny Stocks With Market Caps Under $200M

As the U.S. stock market experiences a downturn, with major indexes like the Dow Jones and Nasdaq seeing declines, investors are increasingly cautious about where to place their bets. In this climate, penny stocks—traditionally seen as high-risk investments—continue to attract attention for their potential growth opportunities in smaller or newer companies. While the term "penny stocks" might seem outdated, these low-priced shares can still offer value when backed by strong financial health and clear growth prospects.
