The Canadian market has been experiencing a rise in yields, which could potentially weigh on equity performance following a strong two-month run. Despite this, earnings growth remains robust, providing support for equities. Penny stocks, though an older investment term, continue to offer intriguing opportunities for those interested in smaller or newer companies that demonstrate financial resilience and potential for growth.
Below we spotlight a couple of our favorites from our exclusive screener.
