The $10-50 price range often includes mid-sized businesses with proven track records and plenty of growth runway ahead. They also usually carry less risk than penny stocks, though they’re not immune to volatility as many lack the scale advantages of their larger peers.

These dynamics can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks under $50 that could 10x and one best left ignored.

One Stock Under $50 to Sell:

Equitable Holdings (EQH)

Share Price: $46.38

Tracing its roots back to 1859 as one of America's oldest financial institutions, Equitable Holdings (NYSE: EQH) provides retirement planning, asset management, and life insurance products through its two main franchises, Equitable and AllianceBernstein.

Why Is EQH Risky?

1. Large revenue base makes it harder to increase sales quickly, and its annual revenue growth of 2.4% over the last five years was below our standards for the insurance sector
2. Annual book value per share declines of 162% for the past five years show its capital management struggled during this cycle
3. Elevated debt-to-equity ratio of 8.7× suggests the firm is overleveraged and may struggle to secure additional financing

At $46.38 per share, Equitable Holdings trades at 6.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than EQH.

Two Stocks Under $50 to Buy:

SentinelOne (S)

Share Price: $14.15

Built on the principle of "fighting machine with machine," SentinelOne (NYSE: S) provides an AI-powered cybersecurity platform that autonomously prevents, detects, and responds to threats across endpoints, cloud workloads, and identity systems.

Why Do We Love S?

1. ARR trends over the last year show it’s maintaining a steady flow of long-term contracts that contribute positively to its revenue predictability
2. Estimated revenue growth of 20.1% for the next 12 months implies its momentum over the last two years will continue
3. Free cash flow margin is on track to jump by 3.4 percentage points next year, meaning the company will have more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

SentinelOne’s stock price of $14.15 implies a valuation ratio of 4x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

Planet Labs (PL)

Share Price: $26.33

Pioneering the concept of "agile aerospace" with hundreds of small but powerful satellites, Planet Labs (NYSE: PL) operates the world's largest fleet of Earth observation satellites, capturing daily images of our planet to provide insights on deforestation, agriculture, and climate change.

Why Will PL Beat the Market?

1. Impressive 23.1% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
2. Free cash flow margin is now positive, showing the company is at an important crossroads
3. Historical investments are beginning to pay off as its returns on capital are growing

Planet Labs is trading at $26.33 per share, or 876.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
