Investing in oversold penny stocks nowadays starts with one elementary question: Is it prudent to assume more risk to get a well-risk-adjusted return in a bear market? The logic says it depends on the economic conditions.
We know that we should expect more interest rate hikes soon. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon is one of the prominent voices warning about the negative consequences of inflation as the market has tumbled.
Still, some losses in the market haven’t been fully justified. Here are three oversold penny stocks that have seen severe losses in 2022. Each one can rebound. They present strong fundamentals and are very attractive, not based on their technical analysis, but on the underlying strength of their business and financial performance.

Pitney Bowes (NYSE:PBI) “is a global shipping and mailing company that provides technology, logistics, and financial services to more than 90 percent of the Fortune 500.”
The stock has losses of about 37% in 2022. One big reason to like it now are a rather stable sales growth that has been increasing over the past two years and the firm returned to profitability in 2021.
Additionally, in Q1 2022, the firm had a beat on both earnings per share (EPS) and revenue. The EPS GAAP of 12 cents was a beat by 10 cents, and revenue of $926.94 million was a beat by $5.88 million. The firm has beat EPS estimates in three out of the last four quarters, which shows momentum in profitability.
The company also has some good news in its financial metrics. The forward price-to-sales ratio of 0.19 is very low, signaling an undervalued stock.
The stock trades at a trailing 12-months (TTM) price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 14 and has a rich forward dividend yield of 5%.
