Penny stocks are typically micro-cap companies with low share prices. These stocks often attract investors as they have the potential to grow. Investors can earn profits on their investment if the stock price goes up.

Penny stocks, though, have certain disadvantages and risks. Investors may find little information about them in the market as they are usually new entrants. Stock buyers may struggle to obtain accurate information about their past performance, trade history, or financials. Thus, the potential risks may outweigh the benefits of such investments.

However, these stocks also provide an opportunity for growth if they are selected judiciously.  For instance, an investor can collect company information directly from the firm or from the stock exchanges, where businesses must periodically file financial reports for shareholders.
