As global markets show broad-based gains, with U.S. indexes nearing record highs and smaller-cap indexes outperforming, investors are increasingly looking for opportunities in less traditional areas of the market. Penny stocks, though an outdated term, continue to offer intriguing possibilities for those seeking growth at lower price points. These stocks often represent smaller or newer companies that can provide significant returns when backed by strong financials and solid fundamentals.
