The Canadian market has been navigating a landscape of shifting bond yields, with recent rate cuts by the Bank of Canada setting the stage for potential opportunities in fixed-income investments. In this context, investors are also exploring equities that offer growth potential at lower entry points. Penny stocks, despite being an older term, continue to capture interest due to their ability to highlight smaller or emerging companies with strong financials and promising prospects.
