And while we don’t expect volatility to slow down anytime soon, these major drops do present investors with an interesting opportunity to find penny stocks and blue chips at low prices. Considering this, here’s what you need to know about trading penny stocks today.

Imperial Petroleum Inc. (NASDAQ: IMPP)
Another penny stock that saw suitable gains during after hours trading on June 16th is IMPP stock. During after hours, shares of IMPP managed to shoot up by over 12.8% to over $0.62 per share. In the past month or so, shares of IMPP stock have climbed by around 9%, which is quite good considering the trajectory of the market during that time.
The biggest recent news for the company came earlier this week when it reported its Q1 2022 financial results. In the results, it stated that its Q1 revenue of $5.1 million is 28% higher than its revenues in Q4 2021. This is a big increase and something that investors should keep in mind. So, whether this makes IMPP worth adding to your penny stocks watchlist is up to you.
Skillz Inc. (NYSE: SKLZ)
Despite Skillz 8% drop during trading on June 16th, it managed to climb by around 2.3% during after hours. In the past month, shares of SKLZ stock have fallen by around 30%, which is not a great sign for investors to consider. The main reason for this comes as research showed that total gaming revenue fell by around 19% YoY in May.
This research from NPD Group, is a big deal as Skillz is a mobile gaming platform. With Apple’s App Store seeing a 2.5% decline and Google Play store seeing a 23% drop during May, this report is concerning. So, at its new low price, does SKLZ have any value for investors?
