Stocks in the $10-50 range offer a sweet spot between affordability and stability as they’re typically more established than penny stocks.
But their headline prices don’t guarantee quality, and investors should exercise caution as some have shaky business models.
This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. That said, here are three stocks under $50 with huge potential.
