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. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock under $50 with huge potential and two best left ignored.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:
Five9 (FIVN)
Share Price: $20.59
Taking its name from the "five nines" (99.999%) standard for optimal service reliability in telecommunications, Five9 (NASDAQ: FIVN) provides cloud-based software that enables businesses to run their contact centers with tools for customer service, sales, and marketing across multiple communication channels.
Why Do We Think Twice About FIVN?
- Offerings struggled to generate meaningful interest as its average billings growth of 10.5% over the last year did not impress
- Estimated sales growth of 8.1% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
- Gross margin of 55.4% is way below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in areas like marketing and R&D
Five9 is trading at $20.59 per share, or 1.5x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering FIVN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
America's Car-Mart (CRMT)
Share Price: $24.88
With a strong presence in the Southern and Central US, America’s Car-Mart (NASDAQ: CRMT) sells used cars to budget-conscious consumers.
Why Do We Think CRMT Will Underperform?
- Poor same-store sales performance over the past two years indicates it’s having trouble bringing new shoppers into its brick-and-mortar locations
- Issuance of new shares over the last three years caused its earnings per share to fall by 74.7% annually while its revenue grew
- High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 19× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate
America's Car-Mart’s stock price of $24.88 implies a valuation ratio of 48.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including CRMT in your portfolio.
One Stock Under $50 to Watch:
Fidelis Insurance (FIHL)
Share Price: $19.09
Founded in Bermuda in 2014 and designed to adapt nimbly to evolving market conditions, Fidelis Insurance (NYSE: FIHL) is a global specialty insurer and reinsurer that provides customized coverage across property, specialty, and bespoke risk solutions.
Why Do We Like FIHL?
- Strong 17.1% annualized net premiums earned expansion over the last two years shows it’s capturing market share this cycle
- Forecasted revenue growth of 10.1% for the next 12 months indicates its momentum over the last two years is sustainable
- Capital strength is on track to rise over the next 12 months as its 18.5% projected book value per share growth implies profitability will accelerate from its two-year trend
At $19.09 per share, Fidelis Insurance trades at 0.8x forward P/B. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .
