These Penny Stocks Continue to See Momentum as DogeCoin Smashes Records
With penny stocks back in focus, investors are constantly looking for the best ones to watch. Now, as Cinco De Mayo is upon us, which penny stocks are showing heightened interest? For one, we are seeing a lot of momentum right now as a result of DogeCoin continuing to reach new highs.
Now, it’s hard at first to make a comparison between something as unique as cryptocurrency and investing in penny stocks. However, given that the two are relatively cheap assets (except for Bitcoin and a few others), often bullish sentiment can reflect itself in one another.
What’s more is that over the past few months, we’ve seen lower than average volume across the stock market. And this has meant that penny stocks have been more stable than usual. However, now, are seeing a return of the volatility that penny stock investors know and love.

3 Hot Penny Stocks to Watch Right Now
- Farmmi Inc. (NASDAQ: FAMI)
- Ault Global Holdings Inc. (NYSE: DPW)
- Chiasma Inc. (NASDAQ: CHMA)
Farmmi Inc. (NASDAQ: FAMI)
While you may not have heard of FAMI stock, the company has been making some big moves as of late. Based in Zhejiang, China, Farmmi Inc. is a producer of retailer of agricultural products. This specifically includes a range of mushrooms including Mu Er mushrooms, Shiitake mushrooms, and other types of edible fungi.
Early on Wednesday, May 5th, the company announced a multi-product order for export to Japan. This order will include its high-quality dried mushrooms. Interestingly enough, this is also a repeat order from an existing customer based in Japan.
And while this may seem like a small deal, it is indicative of the larger global demand for the products that Farmmi offers. Over the past year or so, unique types of mushrooms have become mainstream offerings. This includes the utility of mushrooms as both a food source and a health/wellness product.
“As a major company in the mushroom industry, we have been big proponents of the culinary delights, and the many potential wellness benefits, such as vitamins and nutrient-rich food that can [be brought] to a healthy lifestyle.
We are pleased to see mushrooms now taking an even more prominent role in restaurants, households, and wellness centers, as the prioritization of healthier lifestyles drives increased sales and demand.”
Chairwoman and CEO of Farmmi, Ms. Yefang Zhang
While the announcement above may not be a be-all-end-all deal, it is illustrating the wider adoption of FAMIs products. Whether this makes it a penny stock to watch or not is up to you.
Ault Global Holdings Inc. (NYSE: DPW)
Up by over 20% during pre-market is Ault Global Holdings Inc. We’ve covered DPW stock quite a few times in the past month alone.

Chiasma Inc. (NASDAQ: CHMA)
In a deal announced today, shares of CHMA shot up by over 40% during pre-market hours. So, what exactly is this deal? Well, on May 5th Chiasma announced that Amryt Pharma (NASDAQ: AMYT) had agreed to acquire it in an all-stock deal. Amryt is working hard to grow its revenue and believes that this transaction should push its cost synergies up to over $50 million per year.
The CEO of Amryt, Dr. Joe Wiley, stated that “this deal further solidifies our position as a global leader in treating rare and orphan conditions.” With this combined business, the pair will have three commercially available compounds. This means that it could have a pathway to seeing $1 billion in peak revenue. Additionally, the compound Oleogel-S10 is going through regulatory approvals in both Europe and the U.S., which could bring its approved compound list to 4.
“The merger with Amryt allows the combined company to significantly leverage the operational efficiencies in successfully commercializing MYCAPSSA globally and expanding the potential benefits of MYCAPSSA to other patients with unmet needs.
The combined business has significant potential to further enhance shareholder value with a diversified portfolio of both marketed products and a meaningful late-stage pipeline that could potentially drive future growth opportunities.”
Raj Kannan, CEO of Chiasma
While mergers like this are not rare by any means, they are always an interesting prospect for investors to consider. With this in mind, is CHMA stock worth watching?
