Specialty insurance provider Skyward Specialty Insurance (NASDAQ:SKWD) will be reporting earnings this Monday after the bell. Here’s what you need to know.
The Russell 2000 (^RUT) may be overshadowed by larger indexes, but it’s full of companies with the potential to deliver high returns.
A select few have the right mix of innovation, market opportunity, and execution to outperform over time.
A surplus of cash can mean financial stability, but it can also indicate a reluctance (or inability) to invest in growth.
Some of these companies also face challenges like stagnating revenue, declining market share, or limited scalability.
The stocks in this article have caught Wall Street’s attention in a big way, with price targets implying returns above 20%.
But investors should take these forecasts with a grain of salt because analysts typically say nice things about companies so their firms can win business in other product lines like M&A advisory.
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.
