BOX Cover Image

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.

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 are three stocks under $50 to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead.

Box (BOX)

Share Price: $22.73

Known as the "Content Cloud" for managing the 90% of business data that exists as unstructured files and documents, Box (NYSE: BOX) provides a cloud-based platform that enables organizations to securely manage, share, and collaborate on their content from anywhere on any device.

Why Are We Wary of BOX?

Offerings struggled to generate meaningful interest as its average billings growth of 11.9% over the last year did not impress
Anticipated sales growth of 7.7% for the next year implies demand will be shaky
Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last year as its operating margin fell by 1.6 percentage points

Box’s stock price of $22.73 implies a valuation ratio of 2.8x forward price-to-sales. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than BOX.

RingCentral (RNG)

Share Price: $28.32

Built on its proprietary Message Video Phone (MVP) platform that unifies multiple communication methods, RingCentral (NYSE: RNG) provides AI-driven cloud communications and collaboration solutions that enable businesses to connect through voice, video, messaging, and contact center services.

Why Should You Sell RNG?

Average billings growth of 4.2% over the last year was subpar, suggesting it struggled to push its software and might have to lower prices to stimulate demand
Estimated sales growth of 4.3% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
Competitive market means the company must spend more on sales and marketing to stand out even if the return on investment is low

RingCentral is trading at $28.32 per share, or 1x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering RNG for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Dole (DOLE)

Share Price: $15.92

Known for its delicious pineapples and Hawaiian roots, Dole (NYSE: DOLE) is a global agricultural company specializing in fresh fruits and vegetables.

Why Do We Pass on DOLE?

Flat sales over the last three years suggest it must innovate and find new ways to grow
Easily substituted products (and therefore stiff competition) result in an inferior gross margin of 8.2% that must be offset through higher volumes
Poor expense management has led to an operating margin of 2.7% that is below the industry average

At $15.92 per share, Dole trades at 11.1x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why DOLE doesn’t pass our bar.
