The Canadian market is navigating a period of economic adjustment, with the Bank of Canada cutting rates due to tariff uncertainties and a recent contraction in GDP. In this climate, identifying stocks with strong financials becomes crucial for investors seeking stability and potential growth. While the term "penny stocks" might seem dated, these smaller or newer companies can still offer significant value when backed by solid fundamentals.

Market Cap: CA$150.14M
Amarc Resources Ltd., with a market cap of CA$150.14 million, is pre-revenue and focuses on mineral exploration in Canada.
