Stocks trading between $10 and $50 can be particularly interesting as they frequently represent businesses that have survived their early challenges. However, investors should remain vigilant as some may still have unproven business models, leaving them vulnerable to the ebbs and flows of the broader market.
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. That said, here is one stock under $50 that could 10x and two that could be down big.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:
UiPath (PATH)
Share Price: $14.32
Starting with robotic process automation (RPA) and evolving into a comprehensive automation powerhouse, UiPath (NYSE:PATH) provides an AI-powered business automation platform that enables organizations to create software robots that mimic human actions to streamline repetitive tasks and processes.
Why Does PATH Worry Us?
- Annual revenue growth of 13.2% over the last two years was below our standards for the software sector
- Products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy may need some adjustments as its 2.3% average billings growth over the last year was weak
- Estimated sales growth of 9.5% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
At $14.32 per share, UiPath trades at 4.7x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why PATH doesn’t pass our bar.
Atlantic Union Bankshares (AUB)
Share Price: $38.36
Tracing its roots back to 1902 when it first opened its doors in Virginia, Atlantic Union Bankshares (NYSE:AUB) is a full-service regional bank providing commercial and retail banking, wealth management, and insurance services throughout Virginia and parts of Maryland and North Carolina.
Why Does AUB Give Us Pause?
- Incremental sales over the last two years were less profitable as its earnings per share were flat while its revenue grew
- Tangible book value per share was flat over the last five years, indicating it’s failed to build equity value this cycle
- Low tier one capital ratio of 9.8% indicates the company may struggle to maintain adequate liquidity during periods of economic stress
Atlantic Union Bankshares is trading at $38.36 per share, or 1.1x forward P/B. If you’re considering AUB for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
One Stock Under $50 to Buy:
Pinterest (PINS)
Share Price: $25.97
Created with the idea of virtually replacing paper catalogues, Pinterest (NYSE: PINS) is an online image and social discovery platform.
Why Do We Love PINS?
- Monthly Active Users have grown by 11.2% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
- Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong two-year EBITDA margin of 28.3%, and its operating leverage amplified its profits over the last few years
- Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends, and its improved cash conversion implies it’s becoming a less capital-intensive business
Pinterest’s stock price of $25.97 implies a valuation ratio of 11.6x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
