Stocks in the $10-50 range offer a sweet spot between affordability and stability as they’re typically more established than penny stocks. But their headline prices don’t guarantee quality, and investors should exercise caution as some have shaky business models.
Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. That said, here is one stock under $50 with massive upside potential and two best left ignored.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:
Jamf (JAMF)
Share Price: $12.87
With its name playfully derived from "Just Another Management Framework," Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF) provides software that helps organizations deploy, manage, and secure Apple devices across their workforce while maintaining a seamless user experience.
Why Are We Cautious About JAMF?
- Average ARR growth of 11.1% over the last year has disappointed, suggesting it’s had a hard time winning long-term deals and renewals
- Estimated sales growth of 10.3% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
- Historical operating margin losses point to an inefficient cost structure
Jamf is trading at $12.87 per share, or 2.3x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including JAMF in your portfolio.
MillerKnoll (MLKN)
Share Price: $15.71
Created through the 2021 merger of industry icons Herman Miller and Knoll, MillerKnoll (NASDAQ: MLKN) designs, manufactures, and distributes interior furnishings for offices, healthcare facilities, educational settings, and homes worldwide.
Why Is MLKN Risky?
- Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 2.1% annually over the last two years
- Estimated sales growth of 1.2% for the next 12 months is soft and implies weaker demand
- Incremental sales over the last five years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 7.2% annually while its revenue grew
At $15.71 per share, MillerKnoll trades at 8x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why MLKN doesn’t pass our bar.
One Stock Under $50 to Watch:
Renasant (RNST)
Share Price: $34.30
Founded in 1904 during a time when the South was rebuilding its economy, Renasant (NYSE: RNST) is a regional bank holding company that offers banking, wealth management, insurance, and specialized lending services throughout the Southeast.
Why Are We Positive On RNST?
- Impressive 12.6% annual net interest income growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
- Projected net interest income growth of 30% for the next 12 months is above its five-year trend, pointing to accelerating demand
- Anticipated efficiency ratio improvement of -6.7 percentage points over the next year signals it will gain leverage on its fixed costs and become more productive
Renasant’s stock price of $34.30 implies a valuation ratio of 0.8x forward P/B. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .
