👉Penny stocks12 have gained a lot of popularity in recent years. As investors, we all have been enticed to invest in such stocks, committing relatively smaller capital and waiting and hoping for a turnaround story to emerge to realize large gains.
These small-cap stocks do become all the more popular when discounts rates are low – remember the rally in 2007 or 2016 or 2021? We try to explain the reasons behind this today.
👉DR impacts all but penny stocks more:
Changes in DR impact all the stocks due to the discounting principle at work. Simply put, a company’s fair value will increase in a lower interest rate scenario and vice versa. Let us show you how?
👉Now in the case of a penny stock, that has high debt:
So, all in all, more money means more valued the stock is and this is the prime reason why penny stocks rally when discount rates come down.
👉See the concept play out in 2021
Take a look at the chart below to see that small-cap stocks do much better in terms of price-performance in a lower interest rate scenario.
👉And that’s not all – low DR pushes investors to take risk
Inflation is 9% and returns on deposits are 4% so safe investments are losing appeal as they are unable to even protect capital, let alone grow it. This is what’s happening right now in Pakistan.
👉Conclusion
Investing is tricky and if you consider penny stocks – well it becomes a lot more difficult.
We advise you to dedicate a portion of your investment portfolio – a number that you are comfortable with and consistent with your risk appetite – to such stocks.
