Stocks under $10 pique our interest because they have room to grow (as well as the most affordable option contract premiums). That doesn’t mean they’re bargains though, and we urge investors to be careful as many have risky business models.
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 is one stock under $10 with explosive upside potential and two that may have trouble.
Two Stocks Under $10 to Sell:
Asure Software (ASUR)
Share Price: $8.19
Operating in the often-overlooked smaller metropolitan markets where HR expertise can be scarce, Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR) provides cloud-based human capital management software and services that help small and medium-sized businesses manage payroll, taxes, time tracking, and HR compliance.
Why Are We Hesitant About ASUR?
- Sales trends were unexciting over the last two years as its 12.3% annual growth was below the typical software company
- Estimated sales growth of 10.4% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
- Low free cash flow margin of 5.3% for the last year gives it little breathing room, constraining its ability to self-fund growth or return capital to shareholders
At $8.19 per share, Asure Software trades at 1.4x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ASUR doesn’t pass our bar.
Getty Images (GETY)
Share Price: $0.70
With a vast library of over 562 million visual assets documenting everything from breaking news to iconic historical moments, Getty Images (NYSE: GETY) is a global visual content marketplace that licenses photos, videos, illustrations, and music to businesses, media outlets, and creative professionals.
Why Is GETY Not Exciting?
- Muted 3.5% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its business services peers
- Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 12.4 percentage points
- Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value
Getty Images is trading at $0.70 per share, or 5.7x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering GETY for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
One Stock Under $10 to Watch:
LegalZoom (LZ)
Share Price: $7.73
Founded by famous lawyer Robert Shapiro, LegalZoom (NASDAQ: LZ) offers online legal services and documentation assistance for individuals and businesses.
Why Are We Fans of LZ?
- Subscription Units have grown by 11.6% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
- Switching costs of its platform were on full display over the last two years as it not only grew engagement but also increased the average revenue per user by 35.2% annually
- Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 31.2% exceeded its revenue gains over the last three years
LegalZoom’s stock price of $7.73 implies a valuation ratio of 5.5x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
