At Zacks, we try to avoid labeling stocks as “cheap” or “expensive.” Instead, we opt to look beyond a stock’s face value, and our system puts an emphasis on earnings estimate revisions to find stocks that will hopefully be winners for investors.
With that said, low-priced stocks can still be attractive to investors as they present the chance to take a larger position in a company, which they might not be able to in higher-priced stocks.
When searching for these low-priced stocks, we still look for similar trends in growth, value, and momentum. Then we apply the Zacks Rank to properly analyze the potential that these companies have. We are also aware of the latest sector trends and make sure to cover all of the hottest industries.
Today we’ve highlighted three stocks that fall into the broad “technology” sector. Each of these three stocks is currently trading for less than $10 a share and holds a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy) at the moment.
AudioEye is a cloud-based digital accessibility company that works with firms to help make their new or existing websites and online platforms accessible and usable for people with disabilities. For instance, AudioEye can help make a website controllable through voice commands, so that people who might not be able to use a keyboard or mouse can have the complete experience of that web-page. The company has seen its stock price surge 67% over the last 12 months as it races out of the under $10 range.
The Tucson Arizona-based firm’s Q4 revenues jumped 103% to a record $1.78 million. Clearly, AudioEye is still an extremely small company, with a market cap of $74.63 million. Nonetheless, our current Zacks Consensus Estimate calls for AEYE’s current full-year revenue to soar 95% to reach $11.02 million. Meanwhile, AudioEye’s adjusted fiscal 2019 earnings are expected to surge roughly 49%. Peeking further down the road, the company’s 2020 EPS figure is projected to soar 97% above our current year estimate to come right near break-even earnings. AEYE is Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at the moment that sports an “A” grade for Growth and a “B” for Momentum in our Style Scores system.
