Global markets have recently faced volatility, with U.S. stocks ending the week lower amid tariff uncertainties and mixed economic data, while European indices showed resilience despite trade policy concerns. In such fluctuating conditions, investors often look for opportunities that combine affordability with potential growth. Penny stocks, though an older term, still hold relevance today as they represent smaller or newer companies that can offer significant upside when supported by strong financial health and fundamentals.
