Sidus Space, Brand Engagement Network, Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Datavault AI, SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Lavoro, and TPB Acquisition Co. I are the seven Penny stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Penny stocks are shares of very small public companies that trade at low prices—generally under $5 per share by SEC convention—and are often quoted on over-the-counter markets or smaller exchanges. They typically have low market capitalization, limited liquidity, wide bid–ask spreads and high volatility, making them speculative, higher-risk investments prone to rapid price swings and potential manipulation.
