Summary
- Shares that trade on stock exchanges for less than £1 are known as penny stocks.
- In the past one year, many penny stocks have given multifold returns to their Investors.
Companies typically trading below £1 are called penny stocks with high risk and return potentials; these stocks are most suitable for an investor with high tolerance towards risk.
Several companies like Monster Beverage, Ford Motor and JD Sports Fashion once traded under £1 a share. Investors who took the risk and invested during the early growth stages of these companies have gained high returns over time.
As the price for penny stocks is below £1, it typically means an investor with limited funds seeks to buy stocks that are trading at low price in bulk to increase their returns in case of any price movements.
