Highlights
- Penny stocks are typically traded under the price of £1 and are mainly targeted by risk-taking investors.
- Usually, small companies with speculative valuations offer penny stocks, and thus they are riskier investments.
Amid the current market volatility, risk-taking investors are going for investments in low-cost shares, which may potentially become the growth superstars of tomorrow. These cheap stocks are known as penny stocks and they are typically traded under the price of £1, having a market capitalisation of below £100 million.

Penny stocks generally offer higher returns as compared to their mid and large-sized counterparts, but these high returns come along with a higher risk component. Usually, small companies with speculative valuations offer penny stocks, and thus they are riskier investments.
The year 2022 hasn’t been good for the stock market and many large-cap stocks have also witnessed a considerable drop in their value. Despite the risk factor, investors can gain from penny stocks, but only by cautiously evaluating the details of the firms and seeing their growth prospects first.
Let’s look at 4 penny stocks that are offering annual returns of over 100%, which investors can keep an eye on in June.
