The $10-50 price range often includes mid-sized businesses with proven track records and plenty of growth runway ahead. They also usually carry less risk than penny stocks, though they’re not immune to volatility as many lack the scale advantages of their larger peers.
These dynamics can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks under $50 that could 10x and one that may have trouble.
One Stock Under $50 to Sell:
G-III (GIII)
Share Price: $27.54
Founded as a small leather goods business, G-III (NASDAQ:GIII) is a fashion and apparel conglomerate with a diverse portfolio of brands.
Why Do We Avoid GIII?
- Lackluster 3.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates the company is losing ground to competitors
- Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 4.2% annually
- Low free cash flow margin of 10.5% for the last two years gives it little breathing room, constraining its ability to self-fund growth or return capital to shareholders
At $27.54 per share, G-III trades at 0.4x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including GIII in your portfolio.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Watch:
NMI Holdings (NMIH)
Share Price: $42.97
Founded in the aftermath of the 2008 housing crisis to bring new capacity to the mortgage insurance market, NMI Holdings (NASDAQ:NMIH) provides mortgage insurance that protects lenders against losses when homebuyers default on their mortgage loans.
Why Are We Fans of NMIH?
- Pre-tax profits and efficiency rose over the last five years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage
- Balance sheet strength has increased this cycle as its 16.1% annual book value per share growth over the last five years was exceptional
- Industry-leading 17.3% return on equity demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments
NMI Holdings is trading at $42.97 per share, or 1.1x forward P/B. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
Old National Bank (ONB)
Share Price: $25.31
Tracing its roots back to 1834 when Andrew Jackson was president, Old National Bancorp (NASDAQ:ONB) is a bank holding company that provides commercial and consumer loans, deposit services, wealth management, and treasury solutions primarily throughout the Midwest region.
Why Could ONB Be a Winner?
- Annual revenue growth of 24.8% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
- Market share has increased this cycle as its 30.7% annual net interest income growth over the last five years was exceptional
- Anticipated efficiency ratio improvement of -4.9 percentage points over the next year signals it will gain leverage on its fixed costs and become more productive
Old National Bank’s stock price of $25.31 implies a valuation ratio of 1.1x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
