3 Penny Stocks For Your September Watchlist
After the first long weekend in a few months, investors are eager to find penny stocks to watch this month. And, September has already given several encouraging signs to traders, with major bullish momentum for both penny stocks and blue chips.
Despite a rather disappointing job report that came out last week, the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are hovering near all-time highs. It’s worth noting that some investors believe that a correction could be imminent.
To understand what could cause this, Gina Sanchez, the Chief Market Strategist at Lido Advisors, stated that “The first catalyst I see is just the fact that we have priced in very strong expectations. We’re going to hit huge GDP growth this year. Next year, we’re going to have lower GDP growth. Will it be strong? Yes, but it will be less than now.”

Sanchez goes on to state that the second catalyst to look out for is liquidity, and whether it increases or decreases in the coming months. This could be indicated by the Federal Reserve and what it chooses to do with its bond-buying program. And, with a Fed meeting scheduled for September 21st, investors should keep a close eye on the next few weeks. Considering all of this, let’s take a look at three penny stocks to watch right now.

BEST Inc. (NYSE: BEST)
BEST Inc. is a penny stock that we have discussed several times in the past few months due to its momentum and constant market moves. If you’re unfamiliar, this company is a smart supply chain service provider in China.
BEST’s technology is used for network optimization, smart warehouses, store management, and more. Its technologies apply to a lot of aspects of the product industry, such as sorting line automation and order fulfillment. Throughout the pandemic, the demand for retail goods has skyrocketed. And as a result, BEST Inc. has capitalized upon the need for better and more efficient fulfillment tools.
On August 17th, the company reported its second-quarter financial results for 2021. BEST’s revenue decreased year over year, and it experienced a net loss instead of a gross profit the previous year. This occurred as a result of ‘refocusing’ by the company. While this may seem disheartening, it looks as though BEST Inc. is working to reposition itself and its business model. And, this could be a positive in the near future if it can meet all its goals.
“In the second quarter we continued to press forward with our strategic refocusing plan and build on the encouraging signs we are seeing in network stability, service quality, and cost reduction while adapting to the competitive industry landscape.
In particular, our Express continued to make progress in unit cost reduction and witnessed significant network improvement with enhanced service quality.”
Founder, Chairman, and CEO of BEST Inc., Johnny Chou
Despite these less-than-stellar results, shares of BEST stock have increased in several recent trading sessions. Keeping this in mind, will BEST stock make your watchlist this month?
