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.
Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks under $50 to swipe left on and some alternatives you should look into instead.
LiveRamp (RAMP)
Share Price: $28.07
Serving as the digital middleman in an increasingly privacy-conscious world, LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP) provides technology that helps companies securely share and connect their customer data with trusted partners while maintaining privacy compliance.
Why Does RAMP Give Us Pause?
- Average ARR growth of 8.9% over the last year has disappointed, suggesting it’s had a hard time winning long-term deals and renewals
- Estimated sales growth of 7.7% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
- Operating margin expanded by 1.8 percentage points over the last year as it scaled and became more efficient
LiveRamp is trading at $28.07 per share, or 2.2x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with RAMP, check out our full research report (it’s free).
MarineMax (HZO)
Share Price: $25.26
Appropriately headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, MarineMax (NYSE: HZO) sells boats, yachts, and other marine products.
Why Are We Hesitant About HZO?
- Store closures and disappointing same-store sales suggest demand is sluggish and it’s rightsizing its operations
- Weak same-store sales trends over the past two years suggest there may be few opportunities in its core markets to open new locations
- Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution
MarineMax’s stock price of $25.26 implies a valuation ratio of 9.6x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than HZO.
G-III (GIII)
Share Price: $26.34
Founded as a small leather goods business, G-III (NASDAQ: GIII) is a fashion and apparel conglomerate with a diverse portfolio of brands.
Why Are We Out on GIII?
- Products and services aren't resonating with the market as its revenue declined by 1.2% annually over the last two years
- Forecasted revenue decline of 3.9% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall even further
- ROIC of 8.3% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities
At $26.34 per share, G-III trades at 10.4x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why GIII doesn’t pass our bar.
