The Canadian stock market is experiencing strong momentum heading into 2025, supported by a resilient consumer base and rising corporate profits. Amidst this positive backdrop, investors may find value in exploring penny stocks, which despite their historical connotations, can offer significant opportunities. By focusing on those with robust financials and growth potential, investors might uncover hidden value in smaller companies with promising prospects.

Despite being unprofitable over the past five years, recent developments such as impairment charges and product expansion under its Lord Jones brand suggest strategic shifts aimed at strengthening its market position.
