Stocks trading in the $1-10 range are generally smaller players with less risk than their penny stock counterparts. But that doesn’t mean the underlying businesses are cheap, and we advise caution as many have questionable fundamentals.
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. That said, here is one stock under $10 with huge potential and two that may have trouble.
Two Stocks Under $10 to Sell:
Sabre (SABR)
Share Price: $1.53
Originally a division of American Airlines, Sabre (NASDAQ: SABR) is a technology provider for the global travel and tourism industry.
Why Should You Dump SABR?
- Annual revenue growth of 15.7% over the last five years was below our standards for the consumer discretionary sector
- Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value
- High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 7× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate
Sabre’s stock price of $1.53 implies a valuation ratio of 7x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why SABR doesn’t pass our bar.
The Real Brokerage (REAX)
Share Price: $2.40
Founded in Toronto, Canada in 2014, The Real Brokerage (NASDAQ: REAX) is a technology-driven real estate brokerage firm combining a tech-centric model with an agent-centric philosophy.
Why Are We Out on REAX?
- Subpar operating margin of -0.8% constrains its ability to invest in process improvements or effectively respond to new competitive threats
- Earnings per share lagged its peers over the last four years as they only grew by 8.9% annually
- Forecasted free cash flow margin suggests the company will fail to improve its cash conversion over the next year
At $2.40 per share, The Real Brokerage trades at 5.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including REAX in your portfolio.
One Stock Under $10 to Buy:
Payoneer (PAYO)
Share Price: $4.60
Founded during the early days of global e-commerce in 2005 to solve international payment challenges, Payoneer (NASDAQ: PAYO) provides financial technology services that enable small and medium-sized businesses to send and receive payments globally across borders.
Why Is PAYO a Good Business?
- Annual revenue growth of 26.3% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 24.6% exceeded its revenue gains over the last two years
Payoneer is trading at $4.60 per share, or 18.6x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
