Stocks trading between $10 and $50 can be particularly interesting as they frequently represent businesses that have survived their early challenges. However, investors should remain vigilant as some may still have unproven business models, leaving them vulnerable to the ebbs and flows of the broader market.
These dynamics can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. That said, here is one stock under $50 that could 10x and two that could be down big.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:
Amkor (AMKR)
Share Price: $40.72
Operating through a largely Asian facility footprint, Amkor Technologies (NASDAQ: AMKR) provides outsourced packaging and testing for semiconductors.
Why Are We Wary of AMKR?
- Gross margin of 14.2% reflects its high production costs
- Earnings per share were flat over the last five years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were less profitable
- Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital
Amkor’s stock price of $40.72 implies a valuation ratio of 25.4x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with AMKR, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).
GameStop (GME)
Share Price: $22.56
Drawing gaming fans with demo units set up with the latest releases, GameStop (NYSE: GME) sells new and used video games, consoles, and accessories, as well as pop culture merchandise.
Why Do We Avoid GME?
- GameStop’s brick-and-mortar engine keeps stalling as gamers migrate to digital downloads, and management is closing more outlets after shuttering hundreds of stores last year
- The share price remains an unpredictable meme-stock roller-coaster, and the purchase of thousands of Bitcoins have fueled huge swings
- On the bright side, the company has a large cash pile that gives CEO Ryan Cohen room to buy more Bitcoin or fund its collectibles and trading-card push
At $22.56 per share, GameStop trades at 26.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering GME for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
One Stock Under $50 to Buy:
Remitly (RELY)
Share Price: $14.61
With Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as an early investor, Remitly (NASDAQ: RELY) is an online platform that enables consumers to safely and quickly send money globally.
Why Will RELY Outperform?
- Active Customers are rising, meaning the company can increase revenue without incurring additional customer acquisition costs if it can cross-sell additional products and features
- Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 74.6% over the last three years outstripped its revenue performance
- Free cash flow margin grew by 24.7 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more chips to play with
Remitly is trading at $14.61 per share, or 9.8x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .
