3 Penny Stocks to Watch This Week
While June is only just getting started for penny stocks, we’ve already witnessed quite a bit of momentum. Trading penny stocks or any stocks for that matter over the past few months has been extremely volatile. Couple this with lower than average volume and investors are simply hoping for the market to turn around.
But, with the pandemic still around, fears of inflation in the back of the mind, and uncertainty about the future, this all makes sense. So, to work around this, investors should search for the best penny stocks to buy that could perform in the coming months.
The low volume we’re witnessing right now is a result of traders having less confidence in the market. This, however, could be just a short-term trend. When the pandemic began, the market shifted downwards quite dramatically. A few months later, trading picked up, and stocks were hitting all-time highs. But, those massive gains couldn’t go on forever, right? It’s only natural that we’d witness a correction.

And while no one knows when this correction will turn around, the stock market is always in a state of ebb and flow. This means that when prices go down, they usually will go up again and vise versa. So in the meantime, finding penny stocks that could be at value levels is extremely beneficial to your portfolio. With that in mind, here are three to look at.
3 Penny Stocks to Watch Right Now
- Acasti Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: ACST)
- Electrameccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO)
- Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM)
1. Acasti Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: ACST)
Acasti Pharma Inc. is a popular biotechnology company that is frequently discussed by traders. And, it’s worth noting that the momentum with Acasti has continued throughout the pandemic. If you’re not familiar with it, let’s get you up to speed on what Acasti does. ACST is a biotech penny stock focused on the research, development, and commercialization of prescription drugs to treat cardiovascular diseases. Its lead candidate is CaPre which is an omega-3 phospholipid therapeutic in Phase III clinical trials to treat patients that have hypertriglyceridemia.
While shares of ACST stock are pushing up, there is no company-specific news to back it right now. This is often the case with penny stocks, as speculation and price fluctuations can occur without notice. Yet in the last six months shares of ACST have jumped from around $0.30 to over $0.50 as of June 4th. This represents a gain of more than 75%.
Currently, there are some worries about ACST being de-listed from the NASDAQ exchange as it does not meet the $1 minimum bid requirement. Because of this, it will offer a game plan to the NASDAQ on how it will get its price up. This involves sharing a plan of compliance in a hearing before the NASDAQ panel. How this pans out could be a deciding factor on the future direction of ACST stock. With this in mind, will ACST stock make it onto your watchlist?
