3 Penny Stocks That Investors Are Buying in May 2022
With May proving to be another interesting month for penny stocks and blue chips, there is a lot that investors need to keep track of. First and foremost, we know that penny stocks are in an extremely volatile place right now. This is the result of factors such as rising inflation, climbing interest rates, and geopolitical tensions abroad.

All of this has resulted in major losses across the past few months. And while trading on May 17th was the first positive day in quite some time, it is likely that we will continue to see major market fluctuations in the near future. So, to take advantage of this, investors need to have two things: an understanding of how to trade penny stocks, and guidance on what events to take advantage of. Understanding how to trade may seem obvious, but it is a step that is often overlooked by traders.
And on the other side, knowing what events are going on and how to take advantage of them, is a key aspect to making money with small caps. In addition, traders should know to never buy and sell penny stocks with emotion. This is the easiest way to lose money, and it is almost a guarantee. So, with all of this in mind, let’s take a look at three penny stocks to add to your watchlist right now.
3 Penny Stocks to Add to Your Watchlist
- Vinco Ventures Inc. (NASDAQ: BBIG)
- ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NDRA)
- Ardelyx Inc. (NASDAQ: ARDX)
Vinco Ventures Inc. (NASDAQ: BBIG)
One of the bigger gainers of the day on May 17th is BBIG stock. At EOD, shares of BBIG had shot up by over 5% and more than 4.9% during after hours. This substantial gain adds to BBIG’s one month uptick of over 13%.
In that time, we’ve covered BBIG stock on numerous occasions. And to understand why, we have to take a closer look at the company. The main reason behind its recent move comes as the company set a record and distribution date for the planned business separation of it and Cryptyde. On May 18th, those who hold shares in Vinco, will earn one Cryptyde share for every ten BBIG shares held.

Following this, Cryptyde will trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol, ‘TYDE’. If you’re not familiar with Vinco Ventures, it invests in a range of burgeoning media and content technologies. This includes its investment in Cryptyde, but also Lomotif, and others as well.
While Vinco Ventures has shown a sizable amount of bullish sentiment recently, the majority of its trading patterns in the past few months have been extremely volatile. So, keep this in mind if you’re wondering whether or not BBIG belongs on your penny stocks watchlist.
ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NDRA)
Another sizable after-hours gainer today is NDRA stock, which shot up by over 16% after market close. This comes a few days after it reported its Q1 2022 financial data alongside a business update. In the report, the company announced that it was able to raise $8.7 million in gross proceeds from the sale of common stock.
“We significantly strengthened our balance sheet during the challenging macro environment with the use of our ATM facility to ensure we are well-capitalized to fund the ramp-up in our sales and marketing activities in Europe and our regulatory process in the U.S. Central to these goals, we are advancing our clinical research sites to generate data to support the commercialization of our TAEUS system and the submission of our De Novo request.”
The CEO and Chairman of ENDRA, Francois Michelon,
This is all very exciting news for the company and shows that it is working hard to grow. While NDRA is volatile, it could be worth adding to your list of penny stocks to watch.
Ardelyx Inc. (NASDAQ: ARDX)
During trading and after hours on May 17th, shares of ARDX stock shot up by over 7.4% and more than 4.7% respectively.

This will be presented at the 2022 Digestive Disease Week Conference from May 21-24 in San Diego, CA.
If you’re not familiar, Ardelyx is a biotech penny stock that is working on commercializing IBSRELA in the U.S. This compound is already approved in the U.S., and is used in treating a wide variety of ailments. While it is tough to say what the long term trajectory of ARDX stock is, it is clear that investors are interested in the company right now.
