5 Cheap Growth Penny Stocks under $10 and $5

Growth stocks that actually live up to their tag are the darling of most successful stock market investors, the crown jewel of the stock market. And I believe that the greatest promise for growth investors would be to invest in growth stocks at a cheaper price as history and basic maths reveals.

However, it’s not easy to find promising growth stocks that can live up to their hype, otherwise, everybody will be successful stock investors with portfolios that return crazy ROIs, over and over again.

Hence, you can imagine the effort required to find growth penny stocks with the potential to grow wildly, especially since most ‘spotlight’ growth stocks trades way over $10.

Irrespective of stock prices, growth stocks have a lot in common, and one major thing they have in common is that they’re stocks with a great deal of exposure to an emerging market with a market size that can potentially become a multi-billion or even a multi-trillion dollar market.

The Renewable energy market, Fintech market, autonomous driving market, and the food delivery market, for example, are budding markets that are yet to reach their full potential.

Companies with a great deal of exposure to these markets and have tangible strategic offerings are more likely to grow enormously, as customers repay them with recurring purchases directly or otherwise. And in return these companies typically repay investors with mind-blowing ROIs.

If you are looking for cheap growth stocks with great potentials, here are 5 growth penny stocks under $10 and $5:

1. Ideanomics, Inc. (IDEX)

Ideanomics is mostly referred to as a financial technology company headquartered in New York, however, most of the company’s revenue is coming from its EV business. The company currently fronts as a FinTech company and promotes itself heavily as an EV company concurrently, capitalizing on the popularity of and Wall Street’s bullishness on the two sectors.

The company is so multifaceted that a lot of investors and traders find it difficult to understand what it’s all about, and some even question if it is a real company. To understand IDEX, one has to go back to the very beginning.

Ideanomics was founded in 2004 and went public as a media company in 2017, and over the years, through a series of acquisitions, the company has positioned itself as ‘many things’. It incorporates artificial intelligence and blockchain technology in building out its fintech products, as such it’s an AI, Blockchain, Fintech, and EV stock, basically, the kind of story stock Wall Street traders love to swing.

Simply put, the company’s focus is basically investing in trending technologies. It invested in cryptocurrencies, IoT, and autonomous driving among other trending themes. The company’s portfolio includes dbot, Intelligenta (an AI-based solution), Liquefy (a blockchain technology platform), Logistorm (an IoT company), Solectrac (a smart electric tractor company), Timios (a real estate transaction platform), Treeletrick (an electric bike company) and Wave (an EV charging solution provider).

In a market that is extremely speculative, IDEX is the perfect stock for experienced speculators and short-term story traders. You could make a lot of money swinging this stock, In Mid-November 2020, its stock traded around $1 per share, 9-10 weeks later it was trading around $5 per share. Over 400% return in 9 – 10 weeks!

And I also believe that there could be a long-term play with IDEX. The company is investing in really promising markets, as such, it should not be downplayed, IDEX could become another NIO (I wouldn’t be surprised if it does). Investors today buy stories and IDEX has a lot of promising stories to sell.
