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 are two stocks under $50 with massive upside potential and one that may have trouble.

One Stock Under $50 to Sell:

Integra LifeSciences (IART)

Share Price: $15.69

Founded in 1989 as a pioneer in regenerative medicine technology, Integra LifeSciences (NASDAQ: IART) develops and manufactures medical technologies for neurosurgery, wound care, and surgical reconstruction, including regenerative tissue products and surgical instruments.

Why Do We Steer Clear of IART?

1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
2. Efficiency has decreased over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 7.7 percentage points
3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 21 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

Integra LifeSciences is trading at $15.69 per share, or 6.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than IART.

Two Stocks Under $50 to Buy:

Verra Mobility (VRRM)

Share Price: $24.45

Aiming to wrap technology and data around a historically manual and paper-based industry, Verra Mobility (NYSE: VRRM) is a leading provider of smart mobility technology to address tolls and violations, title and registration services, as well as safety and traffic enforcement.

Why Will VRRM Outperform?

1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 15.7% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 20.6% outpaced its revenue gains
3. VRRM is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders, and its improved cash conversion implies it’s becoming a less capital-intensive business

Verra Mobility’s stock price of $24.45 implies a valuation ratio of 17.5x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

Skyward Specialty Insurance (SKWD)

Share Price: $46.45

Founded in 2006 to serve markets where standard insurance coverage falls short, Skyward Specialty Insurance (NASDAQ: SKWD) provides customized commercial property, casualty, and health insurance solutions for underserved or specialized market niches.

Why Is SKWD a Good Business?

1. Net premiums earned surged by 28.2% annually over the past two years, reflecting strong market share gains this cycle
2. Impressive 26.6% annual book value per share growth over the last two years indicates it’s building equity value this cycle
3. Notable projected book value per share growth of 25.5% for the next 12 months hints at strong capital generation
