While most of Wall Street focuses on large and mega-cap stocks, as they provide a degree of safety and liquidity, many investors are limited in the number of shares they can buy. Many of the most significant public companies, especially the technology giants, trade at prices up to $1,000 per share, while many are in the low to mid-hundreds. It is tough to get decent share count leverage at those steep prices.
Many investors, especially more aggressive traders, seek lower-priced stocks to generate a profit and increase their share count. That can help the decision-making process, especially when you are on to a winner, as you can always sell and keep half.
Low-price stock skeptics should note that many of the world’s biggest companies, including Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Nvidia, once traded in the single digits.
We screened our 24/7 Wall St. research database, looking for smaller-cap companies that could offer patient investors enormous returns for the rest of 2025 and beyond. Four stocks that appeared on our screens have considerable upside potential, and all are rated Buy at the top Wall Street firms we cover. It is worth noting that these stocks were trading below $10 at the time this post was written.
Why do we cover stocks under $10?
We enjoy scouring the stock market for the next big winner, as it allows us to buy a larger position in lower-priced stocks and potentially achieve a parabolic home run, similar to Nvidia or Netflix. Over the years, we have written about stocks like Zynga, which was acquired by Take-Two Interactive. Northern Oil & Gas was under $3 when we started covering the company. It had a reverse split and has traded close to $30.
