2 Stocks Under $50 to Keep an Eye On and 1 Facing Headwinds

Stocks trading between $10 and $50 can be particularly interesting as they frequently represent businesses that have survived their early challenges. However, investors should remain vigilant as some may still have unproven business models, leaving them vulnerable to the ebbs and flows of the broader market.

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 are two stocks under $50 with massive upside potential and one that could be down big.

One Stock Under $50 to Sell:

Malibu Boats (MBUU)

Share Price: $25.59

Founded in California in 1982, Malibu Boats (NASDAQ:MBUU) is a manufacturer of high-performance sports boats and luxury watercrafts.

Why Do We Avoid MBUU?

1. 3.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years was slower than its consumer discretionary peers
2. Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of 3.5% for the last two years
3. Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned

At $25.59 per share, Malibu Boats trades at 16.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than MBUU.

Two Stocks Under $50 to Watch:

Concentrix (CNXC)

Share Price: $33.84

With a team of approximately 450,000 employees across 75 countries, Concentrix (NASDAQ:CNXC) designs and delivers customer experience solutions that help global brands manage their customer interactions across digital channels and contact centers.

Why Does CNXC Stand Out?

1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 17.5% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
2. Economies of scale give it some operating leverage when demand rises
3. Able to self-fund growth initiatives without relying on external capital thanks to its 6% free cash flow margin

Concentrix’s stock price of $33.84 implies a valuation ratio of 3x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

EVERTEC (EVTC)

Share Price: $28.40

Operating one of Latin America's leading PIN debit networks called ATH, EVERTEC (NYSE:EVTC) is a payment transaction processor and financial technology provider that enables merchants and financial institutions across Latin America and the Caribbean to accept and process electronic payments.

Why Do We Love EVTC?

1. Annual revenue growth of 15.8% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
2. Earnings growth was above the peer group average over the last two years as its EPS compounded at 13.1% annually
3. Stellar return on equity showcases management’s ability to surface highly profitable business ventures

EVERTEC is trading at $28.40 per share, or 7.3x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
