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 with huge potential and one that could be down big.
One Stock Under $50 to Sell:
WeightWatchers (WW)
Share Price: $15.91
Known by many for its old cable television commercials, WeightWatchers (NASDAQ: WW) is a wellness company offering a range of products and services promoting weight loss and healthy habits.
Why Do We Pass on WW?
- Products and services aren’t resonating with the market as its revenue declined by 12.4% annually over the last five years
- Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
- Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned
WeightWatchers is trading at $15.91 per share, or 4.3x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including WW in your portfolio.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Buy:
SoFi (SOFI)
Share Price: $18.31
Starting as a student loan refinancing company founded by Stanford business school students in 2011, SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) operates a digital financial platform offering lending, banking, investing, and other financial services to help members borrow, save, spend, invest, and protect their money.
Why Do We Love SOFI?
- Annual revenue growth of 35.9% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
- Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 183% outpaced its revenue gains
SoFi’s stock price of $18.31 implies a valuation ratio of 26x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
CLEAR Secure (YOU)
Share Price: $45.13
Recognized by its signature blue lanes and biometric pods at airport checkpoints across America, CLEAR Secure (NYSE: YOU) provides biometric identity verification technology that allows subscribers to bypass regular security lines at airports and access secure experiences at various venues.
Why Will YOU Outperform?
- Market share has increased as its 36% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
- Software platform has product-market fit given the rapid recovery of its customer acquisition costs
- YOU is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders
At $45.13 per share, CLEAR Secure trades at 3.8x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
