As the U.S. stock market grapples with concerns over tariffs and economic uncertainties, major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have experienced significant declines. Despite these challenges, penny stocks—often representing smaller or newer companies—continue to offer intriguing opportunities for investors seeking growth at lower price points. When these stocks are supported by strong financial health, they can provide potential upside without many of the typical risks associated with this investment area.
