The U.S. stock market is experiencing a positive trend, with major indexes like the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite on track for monthly gains following favorable inflation data and strong earnings reports. For investors interested in exploring smaller or newer companies, penny stocks—despite their somewhat outdated name—remain a relevant area of interest. These stocks can offer growth opportunities at lower price points, especially when backed by solid financials and fundamentals.

Although unprofitable, AMMO has reduced losses over five years and possesses a sufficient cash runway for over three years due to positive free cash flow.
