Key Points

  • MarketBeat's screener flags five penny stocks to watch on April 17: Blaize (BZAI), HIVE Digital (HIVE), Beyond Meat (BYND), BigBear.ai (BBAI) and AMC Entertainment (AMC); these had the highest dollar trading volume among penny stocks in recent days.
  • Penny stocks are typically shares under $5 and often trade on OTC or smaller exchanges; they are highly speculative and illiquid, with larger risks of price swings, manipulation and fraud, so investors should exercise caution.
  • The group spans diverse sectors—edge AI chips (Blaize), crypto mining (HIVE), plant-based foods (Beyond Meat), AI decision intelligence (BigBear.ai) and theatrical exhibition (AMC)—illustrating varied themes among high‑volume penny names.
  • Interested in Blaize? Here are five stocks we like better.

Blaize, HIVE Digital Technologies, Beyond Meat, BigBear.ai, and AMC Entertainment are the five Penny stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Penny stocks are shares of very small companies that trade at low prices—typically under $5 per share in the U.S. as defined by the SEC—and are often quoted on over‑the‑counter (OTC) markets or smaller exchanges. They tend to be highly speculative and illiquid, with large price swings and a greater risk of fraud or manipulation, making them much riskier for investors than larger, more established stocks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Penny stocks within the last several days.
