While the backup in bond yields over recent months has impacted bond prices, it sets the stage for stronger performance ahead as yields are typically a key driver of fixed-income returns. In this context, penny stocks—though an outdated term—remain relevant as they often represent smaller or newer companies with potential growth opportunities. By focusing on those with robust financials and a clear growth trajectory, investors can find promising candidates among these lesser-known stocks.
