Stocks trading in the $1-10 range are generally smaller players with less risk than their penny stock counterparts. But that doesn’t mean the underlying businesses are cheap, and we advise caution as many have questionable fundamentals.
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.
American Express Global Business Travel (GBTG)
Share Price: $5.48
Originally spun off from American Express in 2014 but maintaining the Amex GBT brand, Global Business Travel Group (NYSE: GBTG) provides end-to-end business travel and expense management solutions, connecting corporate clients with travel suppliers and offering specialized software services.
Why Do We Think GBTG Will Underperform?
- Muted 8.9% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its software peers
- Gross margin of 60.1% reflects its relatively high servicing costs
- Operating margin didn’t move over the last year, showing it couldn’t increase its efficiency
American Express Global Business Travel is trading at $5.48 per share, or 0.9x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including GBTG in your portfolio.
Janus (JBI)
Share Price: $5.16
Standing out with its digital keyless entry into self-storage room technology, Janus (NYSE: JBI) is a provider of easily accessible self-storage solutions.
Why Are We Wary of JBI?
- Annual sales declines of 8.9% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
- Earnings per share have contracted by 23.2% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
- Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam
At $5.16 per share, Janus trades at 8.2x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with JBI, check out our full research report (it’s free).
Mobileye (MBLY)
Share Price: $7.55
With its EyeQ chips installed in over 200 million vehicles worldwide, Mobileye (NASDAQ: MBLY) develops advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies that help vehicles detect and respond to road conditions.
Why Are We Out on MBLY?
- Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 4.6% annually over the last two years
- Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 5.2 percentage points
- Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned
Mobileye’s stock price of $7.55 implies a valuation ratio of 29.3x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than MBLY.
