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.
This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks under $50 that could 10x and one that could be down big.
One Stock Under $50 to Sell:
Levi's (LEVI)
Share Price: $20.04
Credited for inventing the first pair of blue jeans in 1873, Levi's (NYSE: LEVI) is an apparel company renowned for its iconic denim products and classic American style.
Why Are We Out on LEVI?
- Constant currency growth was below our standards over the past two years, suggesting it might need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
- Projected sales growth of 3.2% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand
- Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned
Levi's is trading at $20.04 per share, or 14.4x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including LEVI in your portfolio.
