1 Stock Under $10 to Target This Week and 2 We Avoid

UAA Cover Image

Stocks under $10 pique our interest because they have room to grow (as well as the most affordable option contract premiums). That doesn’t mean they’re bargains though, and we urge investors to be careful as many have risky business models.

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 $10 with explosive upside potential and two that could be down big.

Two Stocks Under $10 to Sell:

Under Armour (UAA)

Share Price: $7.79

Founded in 1996 by a former University of Maryland football player, Under Armour (NYSE: UAA) is an apparel brand specializing in sportswear designed to improve athletic performance.

Why Do We Steer Clear of UAA?

  1. Underwhelming constant currency revenue performance over the past two years suggests its product offering at current prices doesn’t resonate with customers
  2. Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

Under Armour’s stock price of $7.79 implies a valuation ratio of 42.2x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than UAA.

Bark (BARK)

Share Price: $0.77

Making a name for itself with the BarkBox, Bark (NYSE: BARK) specializes in subscription-based, personalized pet products.

Why Should You Sell BARK?

  1. 5.2% annual revenue growth over the last five years was slower than its consumer discretionary peers
  2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
  3. Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders

At $0.77 per share, Bark trades at 39.7x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including BARK in your portfolio.

One Stock Under $10 to Buy:

FuelCell Energy (FCEL)

Share Price: $7.43

Founded in 1969, FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ: FCEL) is a leading manufacturer and developer of carbonate fuel cell technology for stationary power generation.

Why Is FCEL a Top Pick?

  1. Backlog has averaged 13.3% growth over the past two years, showing it has a pipeline of unfulfilled orders that will support revenue in the future
  2. Earnings per share grew by 25.9% annually over the last two years and trumped its peers
  3. Cash burn has become less severe over the last five years, showing the company is making some progress toward financial sustainability

FuelCell Energy is trading at $7.43 per share, or 1.4x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

High-Quality Stocks for All Market Conditions

The market’s up big this year - but there’s a catch. Just 4 stocks account for half the S&P 500’s entire gain. That kind of concentration makes investors nervous, and for good reason. While everyone piles into the same crowded names, smart investors are hunting quality where no one’s looking - and paying a fraction of the price. Check out the high-quality names we’ve flagged in our Top 6 Stocks for this week. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 244% over the last five years (as of June 30, 2025).

Stocks that made our list in 2020 include now familiar names such as Nvidia (+1,326% between June 2020 and June 2025) as well as under-the-radar businesses like the once-small-cap company Exlservice (+354% five-year return). Find your next big winner with StockStory today.
