As the U.S. stock market navigates a "sometimes-bumpy path" toward its inflation target, as noted by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, investors are closely watching for opportunities amidst fluctuating indices. Penny stocks, though an older term, remain relevant by highlighting smaller or less-established companies that can offer substantial value. By focusing on those with strong financials and clear growth potential, investors may find promising opportunities within this often-overlooked segment of the market.
