Are Robinhood Penny Stocks Still Worth Investing in?

Penny stocks are some of the most popular securities to invest in right now. And, Robinhood is a valuable source for buying and selling penny stocks in an easy way. However, there are some limitations alongside the benefits that it offers. For one, buying penny stocks on Robinhood can be challenging as it doesn’t allow access to the OTC exchange. This is where the bulk of penny stocks reside.

However, the term penny stocks itself simply means any stock that is trading under $5. Given that there are hundreds of NASDAQ and NYSE listed stocks under $5, the options are still aplenty.

Now, the next thing to consider is liquidity. While this is sometimes penny stock specific, Robinhood has been known to halt trading when the volume is extremely high. This occurred during the GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) fiasco that went down a few months back. But, this is not something we see often, and shouldn’t be too much of a worry.

Now, the next thing to consider is that Robinhood does not truly offer investment tools such as research and analysis beyond face-level information. While this info can be useful, it’s best to have access to your research databases to make tailored investing decisions.

Buying penny stocks in 2021 could not be easier with the number of resources out there. And while Robinhood is not the only platform for buying stocks by any means, it is one of the most popular brokerages out there. With all of this in mind, here are four Robinhood penny stocks to watch in Summer 2021.

Zomedica Corp. (NYSE: ZOM)

Biotech penny stocks like Zomedica Corp. have been in market focus recently. Some biotech penny stocks move up because of trial progress and commercialization of products while others can move based on industry news.

Zomedica tends to be a company that moves off of news and pure speculation. ZOM is also frequently mentioned on the popular subreddit WallStreetBets, adding to its speculative effects. This has turned ZOM into what traders are calling “Reddit penny stocks”.

Before talking about Reddit’s impact on Zomedica, let’s talk about what the company does. Zomedica is a biotech penny stock that focuses on the unmet needs of clinical veterinarians. It develops products for companion animals, such as dogs and cats. It is currently developing and commercializing TRUFORMA, a diagnostic biosensor platform for detecting thyroid disorders in domesticated animals.

The increase in popularity of ZOM due to Reddit is quite impressive. In December 2020, ZOM stock was worth about $0.16 per share. Now as of May 27th, this biotech penny stock is at about $0.80 per share. At one point in February 2021, Zomedica even reached as high as $2.70 per share. While the stock has pulled back, it is still frequently being mentioned all over Reddit.

So what else is impacting ZOM stock apart from Reddit? Well, the company released its first-quarter financial results on May 12th, 2021. It reported a net loss year over year, but solid revenue numbers.

The company had limited sales in the first quarter of 2021. But the company now expects to see revenue increase as sales and marketing activities increase in the coming months. With so much information to consider from this biotech penny stock, will it make it onto your watchlist?

LAIX Inc. (NYSE: LAIX)

LAIX Inc. is a penny stock that provides English learning products and services in China. One of its applications is Liulishuo, which offers leisure learning, standard courses, DongNi English, and other English learning programs. It has a similar app targeted towards kids that enhances the reading, hearing, and speaking abilities of children.

LAIX stock has increased in price significantly after the company released its first-quarter 2021 financial results. LAIX reported a net income of $1.9 million compared to a sizable net loss the year prior.

Its gross margin was 77.6% compared to 65.5% the last year, which is always an encouraging sign. Its net revenue did decrease, along with its sales and marketing expenses year over year. This makes sense given the large effects of the pandemic on all businesses.

“These numbers reiterate our firm commitment and strong execution capabilities when it comes to cost controls. Our focus going forward is to balance profitability by improving operating leverage while at the same time executing our strategic initiatives to propel our operational growth.”
