The $10-50 price range often includes mid-sized businesses with proven track records and plenty of growth runway ahead. They also usually carry less risk than penny stocks, though they’re not immune to volatility as many lack the scale advantages of their larger peers.
Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. That said, here is one stock under $50 that could 10x and two best left ignored.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:
Reynolds (REYN)
Share Price: $23.42
Best known for its aluminum foil, Reynolds (NASDAQ: REYN) is a household products company whose products focus on food storage, cooking, and waste.
Why Do We Steer Clear of REYN?
- Shrinking unit sales over the past two years suggest it might have to lower prices to stimulate growth
- Sales are projected to be flat over the next 12 months and imply weak demand
- Free cash flow margin dropped by 5.8 percentage points over the last year, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
Reynolds’s stock price of $23.42 implies a valuation ratio of 14.2x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why REYN doesn’t pass our bar.
HNI (HNI)
Share Price: $44.94
With roots dating back to 1944 and a significant acquisition of Kimball International in 2023, HNI (NYSE: HNI) manufactures and sells office furniture systems, seating, and storage solutions, as well as residential fireplaces and heating products.
Why Does HNI Give Us Pause?
- Muted 4.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its business services peers
- Estimated sales growth of 3.4% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
- 2.2 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
HNI is trading at $44.94 per share, or 12.1x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with HNI, check out our full research report (it’s free).
One Stock Under $50 to Watch:
DraftKings (DKNG)
Share Price: $47.65
Getting its start in daily fantasy sports, DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG) is a digital sports entertainment and gaming company.
Why Does DKNG Stand Out?
- Rise in monthly unique players indicates high demand for its offerings
- Notable projected revenue growth of 27.8% for the next 12 months hints at market share gains
- Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last five years, increasing by 22.2% annually
At $47.65 per share, DraftKings trades at 23.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
