We recently published a list of the 10 Best Cheap Stocks to Buy Under $10. In this article, we are going to take a look at where The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES) stands against other cheap stocks to buy under $10.
On April 21, Tom Lee, Fundstrat CIO, co-founder, and managing partner, joined ‘Squawk Box’ on CNBC to discuss the latest market trends and stated that the market may be past peak uncertainty despite the ongoing Fed uncertainties. However, Lee thinks that ‘maximum pain’ can still be anticipated, as economic risks could still cause hesitation among investors. Despite this, he believes that a structural low in fear has taken place. He acknowledged that the last low at the S&P 500 was around 4,800, which was reached a few weeks prior, and he thinks that there is a chance the market could drift dangerously close to that level in the coming weeks due to the ongoing uncertainty and investors remaining on the sidelines. Nevertheless, Lee emphasized that companies are very resilient, which should become evident during earnings season. He also mentioned the potential for a positive policy shock, such as a reduction in tariffs or de-escalation in trade tensions with countries like China, which could be seen as a win by the market, even though such developments did not seem likely overnight.
Lee also elaborated on his ‘Granny Shot’ ETF, and mentioned that the granny shots in their portfolio are stocks that, while not immune to declines, are closely linked to the most important long-term investment themes, such as cybersecurity and demographic shifts, such as the rise of millennials. The idea is to select stocks that are strongly correlated with multiple enduring themes, which increases the chances that these stocks will perform well over time, likening this to the reliability of a well-executed granny shot in basketball. Lee also noted that Bitcoin may have been held back by institutional deleveraging earlier this year, with investors selling what they could, which suppressed Bitcoin’s price, but that deleveraging process appears to be over. He now expects Bitcoin to catch up to gold and highlighted that Bitcoin’s previous high was over $110,000, which suggests that there is room for Bitcoin to appreciate as it regains momentum as a non-dollar asset. Gold recently surged to new highs, seemingly on track to reach $4,000, while Bitcoin was lagging, but it would eventually attract some of the same investment flows that were driving gold higher.
We first used the Finviz stock screener to compile a list of cheap stocks that had a forward P/E ratio under 15 and were trading under $10.
