Weekend Penny Stocks To Watch Before Monday

I know it’s the weekend but money doesn’t sleep; it just takes a breather on Saturday and Sunday. That also goes for penny stocks. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take these days to do some research and prepare for the week. They for the most part, the world is your oyster on the weekends.

You can catch up on all the juicy rumors on social media and you can take time to really dive into corporate filings. The weekends also give you plenty of time to review countless penny stock charts. So instead of Netflix and chilling all day, use these precious hours to put a solid list of penny stocks together for the week ahead.

Will all of the names on your penny stocks watch list be trending on Monday? Chances are, probably not. But I’m willing to bet that at least some of them will be. Something we always preach on PennyStocks.com is to know why a stock is moving. Understand the underlying catalyst so you can properly plan out your trade. Is it based on news, rumors, filings, social media posts, etc.?

Knowing really is half the battle. As we saw last week, some penny stocks broke out big on unsubstantiated rumors but then fell just as quickly when the trading public got frustrated with the speculation. Meanwhile, other stocks took off and continued to trade strongly into the weekend after new corporate communications emerged.

No matter the case, just understanding why certain stocks are moving can give you the edge when it comes to making money with penny stocks. Here are a few names that gained ground late Friday afternoon. Will they be the best penny stocks to buy next week or should you push them off to the side?

Penny Stocks To Watch: Ocwen Financial Corporation

Ocwen Financial Corporation (OCN Stock Report) is a non-bank mortgage servicer and originator. As we’ve seen in the financial sector this year, things have gotten beaten up. But on Friday, OCN stock managed to take off after the company released a new update. Ocwen reported its operating results for the first quarter of 2020.

Surprisingly, the company came through with “palatable” results based on the market’s reaction. I say that because of how so many financial and real-estate sector stocks were beaten up early on in 2020. For starters, Ocwen reported a net loss of $25.5 million, or $0.19 per share. This compared to a net loss of $44.5 million or $0.33 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019. So when you talk about earnings results, despite reporting a net loss again, it does show Ocwen managed to improve on that note.

What’s more is that the company grew its owned-servicing portfolio to $77.2 billion. However, the company hesitated on issuing forward guidance amid the current COVID-19 pandemic. Glen A. Messina, President and CEO of Ocwen said it best, “While we are operating in an environment with increased risk, we believe there are increased opportunities in both origination and delinquent servicing.”

“We expect to have adequate liquidity to operate our business and originate approximately $25 billion in new servicing additions with a target 50/50 mix of owned servicing and sub servicing.”

As a result of its new strategic direction, Verastem Oncology expects to reduce its operating expenses by approximately 40% for 2020 compared to 2019.

With this in mind, Kitov Pharma focuses on treatments for people with cancer. The company is currently advancing NT-219 in combination with cetuximab as a third-line or second-line treatment option for the treatment of recurrent and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of head & neck cancer.

Kitov has been fiercely raising money over the last few months. It came in the form of exercised warrants in April. This month the company closed a $10 million offering. Kitov said that it intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to fund the development of its oncology drug candidates and acquisition of new assets among other things. With the raise officially closed, it should be important to find out the price of the raise to understand any potential dilution risk presenting itself right now.

Based on its filings, it looks like the raise was at $0.40/share. The total offering consists of roughly 25 million shares. What’s also interesting to note is a recently submitted 13G filing last week. It shows that Sabby Management holds a larger stake in KTOV stock right now. After Friday’s close, we can clearly see KTOV had one of its most actively traded sessions in recent history. Will this translate into more momentum heading into the new week?
