Stocks trading in the $1-10 range are generally smaller players with less risk than their penny stock counterparts. But that doesn’t mean the underlying businesses are cheap, and we advise caution as many have questionable fundamentals.
Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock under $10 that could 100x and two that may have trouble.
Two Stocks Under $10 to Sell:
Red Robin (RRGB)
Share Price: $3.61
Known for its bottomless steak fries, Red Robin (NASDAQ: RRGB) is a chain of casual restaurants specializing in burgers and general American fare.
Why Are We Out on RRGB?
- Poor same-store sales performance over the past two years indicates it’s having trouble bringing new diners into its restaurants
- Falling earnings per share over the last six years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
- High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 7× increases the risk of forced asset sales or dilutive financing if operational performance weakens
Red Robin’s stock price of $3.61 implies a valuation ratio of 7.7x forward EV-to-EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with RRGB, check out our full research report (it’s free).
Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE)
Share Price: $2.30
Operating the largest network of natural gas fueling stations in North America with over 600 locations, Clean Energy Fuels (NASDAQ: CLNE) supplies renewable natural gas and conventional natural gas as fuel for commercial vehicle fleets.
Why Should You Sell CLNE?
- Annual revenue growth of 7.8% over the last five years was below our standards for the energy upstream and integrated energy sector
- Revenue base of $424.8 million puts it at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors exhibiting economies of scale
- Gross margin of 24.6% is below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in exploration and production
Clean Energy Fuels is trading at $2.30 per share, or 7.9x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering CLNE for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
One Stock Under $10 to Watch:
Taboola (TBLA)
Share Price: $3.65
Often appearing as those "You May Also Like" or "Recommended For You" boxes at the bottom of news articles, Taboola (NASDAQ: TBLA) operates a digital platform that recommends personalized content to users across publisher websites, helping both publishers monetize their sites and advertisers reach target audiences.
Why Are We Positive On TBLA?

- Free cash flow margin increased by 7.3 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders
