Stocks under $10 pique our interest because they have room to grow (as well as the most affordable option contract premiums). That doesn’t mean they’re bargains though, and we urge investors to be careful as many have risky business models.
The bad behavior exhibited by lower-quality companies in this space can spook even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to separate the good from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock under $10 with explosive upside potential and two that could be down big.
Two Stocks Under $10 to Sell:
Camping World (CWH)
Share Price: $7.59
Founded in 1966 as a single recreational vehicle (RV) dealership, Camping World (NYSE: CWH) still sells RVs along with boats and general merchandise for outdoor activities.
Why Are We Out on CWH?
- Disappointing same-store sales over the past two years show customers aren’t responding well to its product selection and store experience
- Performance over the past three years shows each sale was less profitable as its earnings per share dropped by 73.3% annually, worse than its revenue
- Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders
Camping World’s stock price of $7.59 implies a valuation ratio of 9.9x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including CWH in your portfolio.
Icahn Enterprises (IEP)
Share Price: $7.41
Founded in 1987, Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ: IEP) is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in investment and asset management across various sectors.
Why Do We Pass on IEP?
- Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 4.5% annually over the last two years
- Earnings per share were flat over the last five years and fell short of the peer group average
- Free cash flow margin shrank by 21.6 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
Icahn Enterprises is trading at $7.41 per share, or 0.5x trailing 12-month price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why IEP doesn’t pass our bar.
One Stock Under $10 to Buy:
NerdWallet (NRDS)
Share Price: $8.34
Born from founder Tim Chen's frustration with the lack of transparent credit card information when helping his sister in 2009, NerdWallet (NASDAQ: NRDS) is a digital platform that provides financial guidance to help consumers and small businesses make smarter decisions about credit cards, loans, insurance, and other financial products.
Why Will NRDS Outperform?
- Annual revenue growth of 28.2% over the last five years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
- Share repurchases over the last two years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 186% to outpace its revenue gains
At $8.34 per share, NerdWallet trades at 1.5x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
