Investors can certainly boost their returns by concentrating on stocks trading between $1 and $10. However, a disciplined approach is necessary because many of these businesses are speculative and lack the underlying fundamentals to support their prices.
Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks under $10 to swipe left on and some alternatives you should look into instead.
Getty Images (GETY)
Share Price: $1.30
With a vast library of over 562 million visual assets documenting everything from breaking news to iconic historical moments, Getty Images (NYSE: GETY) is a global visual content marketplace that licenses photos, videos, illustrations, and music to businesses, media outlets, and creative professionals.
Why Does GETY Worry Us?
- Sales trends were unexciting over the last two years as its 1.3% annual growth was below the typical business services company
- Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 11.2 percentage points
- Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging
At $1.30 per share, Getty Images trades at 18.8x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why GETY doesn’t pass our bar.
Titan International (TWI)
Share Price: $8.60
Acquiring Goodyear’s farm tire business in 2005, Titan (NSYE:TWI) is a manufacturer and supplier of wheels, tires, and undercarriages used in off-highway vehicles such as construction vehicles.
Why Do We Avoid TWI?
- Sales tumbled by 3.7% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
- Sales were less profitable over the last two years as its earnings per share fell by 73.4% annually, worse than its revenue declines
- Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability
Titan International’s stock price of $8.60 implies a valuation ratio of 72.9x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with TWI, check out our full research report (it’s free).
Blink Charging (BLNK)
Share Price: $0.79
One of the first EV charging companies to go public, Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) is a manufacturer, owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle charging equipment and networked EV charging services.
Why Do We Think Twice About BLNK?
- Annual sales declines of 5.9% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
- Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value
- Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders
Blink Charging is trading at $0.79 per share, or 0.7x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering BLNK for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
