What Counts as a "Cheap Stock" Here

"Cheap stocks" and "penny stocks" mean the same thing in practice: US-listed equities priced under $5 per share. Some traders draw a finer line — cheap for $1 to $5 names where most major brokers participate, true pennies for sub-$1, sub-pennies for under $0.10. All three live here.

The "to buy now" framing matters: this page is intentionally biased toward the buy side. We show today's gainers (what's catching bids), today's most-active names (where retail attention is concentrated), and unusual-volume names (where someone is stepping in meaningfully). The falling stuff lives on our bearish setup pages.

How to Use This List

  • Gainers + volume confirmation: a 30% gain on 10,000 shares is noise. The same gain on 2M shares is real interest. Always check both columns.
  • Unusual volume signal: the "Vol Ratio" column compares today's volume to the recent baseline. A 5x ratio means today is 5x heavier than usual.
  • Catalyst check: does the move have a news driver (8-K, earnings, contract, FDA), or is it untethered? Untethered moves on sub-$1 stocks are the classic pump pattern.
  • Dilution risk: a stock surging on no news may be priming an offering. Check recent S-1/S-3 filings.
  • Spread reality: sub-$1 names often have 5-20% bid/ask spreads — the spread is a hidden cost on every trade. See our spread explainer.
