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 that could 10x and one best left ignored.
One Stock Under $50 to Sell:
Corcept (CORT)
Share Price: $45.16
Focusing on the powerful stress hormone that affects everything from metabolism to immune function, Corcept Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CORT) develops and markets medications that modulate cortisol to treat endocrine disorders, cancer, and neurological diseases.
Why Do We Think Twice About CORT?
- Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 24.7 percentage points
- Incremental sales over the last five years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 6.5% annually while its revenue grew
- Free cash flow margin dropped by 21.3 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
Corcept’s stock price of $45.16 implies a valuation ratio of 70.4x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than CORT.
