Top Penny Stocks To Watch To Start 2021

You can’t ignore the fact that penny stocks are already off to a red hot start in 2021. The last 2 days alone have seen several cheap shares explode to fresh highs. Many of these moves have come on the heels of pent up momentum at the end of last year. Needless to say, it’s never too late to start looking for potentially the next round of penny stocks to rally.

With one of the wildest years in history behind us, 2021 is a new year with many stocks in focus. As the COVID pandemic hit at the beginning of 2020, many popular penny stocks dropped substantially in value. Soon after, however, prices began to climb once again. Now, around a year later, traders are still searching for the top penny stocks to buy. In the past three months, the positive momentum in the stock market has been overwhelming. And while the first real trading day of 2021 was quite rough, Tuesday, January 5th showed much more momentum for stocks under $5.

So what are traders looking at right now? Are there certain trends to consider or just “penny stocks” in general? Some of the hot corners of the stock market right now are in several key industries including energy, healthcare, and technology. Considering that traders are focused on volatility, penny stocks within these industries have seen a jump in action. Are any of these on your watch list right now?

Hot Penny Stocks To Watch

Hot Penny Stocks to Watch: Sunworks Inc.

Sunworks Inc. is a provider of power systems for a wide range of markets in California, Massachusetts, Nevada and more. Funny enough, after a 6% gain on January 5th, SUNW stock sits at around $4.99 per share. This means that it is just shy of no longer being a penny stock. Regardless, SUNW is working on several projects that could make it a penny stock to watch in the meantime. The company states that its projects span everything from agricultural and commercial to residential and public works. In addition to providing these solar systems, the company also installs and designs various solar projects for use by its customers. One of the issues that investors found with SUNW is that its balance sheet showed a great deal of debt.

But last month, Sunworks raised around $20 million in gross proceeds. With this, the company was able to swiftly pay off more than $2.7 million in debt. Chuck Cargile, Chairman of the Board for Sunworks stated that “we have successfully bolstered our balance sheet, eliminated costly debt, and strengthened our working capital position, better positioning us to navigate the covid-related challenges impacting our operations, our industry, and the economy as a whole. Additionally, we are actively recruiting a permanent CEO to lead the next phase of Sunworks’ evolution and fulfillment of backlog.”

With the added interest in things like alternative energy and renewables, SUNW stock has been one to watch. In fact, since June, shares of this solar stock have climbed over 770% to date.

Hot Penny Stocks to Watch: Pioneer Power Solutions Inc.

Pioneer Power Solutions Inc. is one of the largest after-hours gainers of the day. On January 5th, PPSI stock ended the day with around 22% in gains. Similar to Sunworks, Pioneer Power Solutions works in the energy industry but in a slightly different way. Pioneer Power manufactures and sells a wide range of electrical distribution and power generation products. This includes products for use in industrial, commercial, and back-up power industries. As an ancillary energy penny stock, the company could also have benefited from bullish sentiment stemming from the incoming administration. Additionally, Pioneer recently announced that it had secured a $3.5 million order for a power center based in Hawaii.

Nathan Mazurek, CEO of Pioneer Power stated that “Pioneer Power continues to win business because of our proven ability to customize solutions for unique electrical and mechanical applications. This order, combined with our existing backlog and growing demand for our expertise, gives us increased confidence that our switchgear business revenue and profit should grow notably during 2021 when compared to 2020.”

With all of this in mind, PPSI looks like a very interesting penny stock in the energy industry.
