The global markets have been experiencing a surge, with U.S. stocks reaching record highs following a Republican electoral victory that has sparked hopes for growth and tax reforms. Amidst these developments, the concept of penny stocks remains relevant as they offer unique opportunities in smaller or newer companies. With strong financial foundations, these stocks can provide significant growth potential and uncover hidden value for investors seeking to capitalize on market dynamics.

Despite a slight decline in net income to THB253.61 million for the first quarter of 2024, EPG maintains high-quality earnings and stable weekly volatility at 6%. While its debt-to-equity ratio has risen over five years, operating cash flow sufficiently covers debt obligations. However, return on equity remains low at 9.1%, with profit margins decreasing year-over-year.
