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 is one stock under $50 with massive upside potential and two that may have trouble.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:
Concrete Pumping (BBCP)
Share Price: $11.85
Going public via SPAC in 2018, Concrete Pumping (NASDAQ: BBCP) is a provider of concrete pumping and waste management services in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Why Does BBCP Fall Short?
- Sales tumbled by 4.1% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against it during this cycle
- Earnings per share have contracted by 33.1% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
- ROIC of 6.6% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities
Concrete Pumping’s stock price of $11.85 implies a valuation ratio of 54.8x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why BBCP doesn’t pass our bar.
Rivian (RIVN)
Share Price: $16.99
The manufacturer of Amazon’s delivery trucks, Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN) designs, manufactures, and sells electric vehicles and commercial delivery vans.
Why Do We Think Twice About RIVN?
- Flat vehicles delivered show it’s struggled to move its products and might have to lower prices to stimulate growth
- Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
- Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution
Rivian is trading at $16.99 per share, or 2.6x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering RIVN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
One Stock Under $50 to Buy:
Pinterest (PINS)
