Alta Equipment Group Inc. (NYSE:ALTG) is one of the best NYSE penny stocks to invest in right now. On November 12, DA Davidson cut the firm’s price target on Alta Equipment to $7 from $8 with a Neutral rating on the shares after the company posted its Q3 2025 earnings miss. The company saw a loss per share of $1.31 in the said quarter. Given these circumstances, DA Davidson is now lowering its adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2025 and 2026 due to the impact of tariffs, the presence of mixed end markets, and the persistent competitive pricing dynamics within the Construction Equipment segment.

The company experienced an organic reduction in revenue of 5.8% year-over-year, with total equipment sales facing challenges in Q3. However, demand improved through September and into October, which was the strongest month of the year for new equipment sales.
