Stocks in the $10-50 range offer a sweet spot between affordability and stability as they’re typically more established than penny stocks. But their headline prices don’t guarantee quality, and investors should exercise caution as some have shaky business models.
Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. That said, here are two stocks under $50 with huge potential and one that could be down big.
One Stock Under $50 to Sell:
MGP Ingredients (MGPI)
Share Price: $23.32
Headquartered in Atchison, Kansas, MGP Ingredients (NASDAQ: MGPI) is a leading supplier of high-quality ingredients to the food and beverage industry
Why Should You Sell MGPI?
- Sales tumbled by 8.6% annually over the last three years, showing consumer trends are working against its favor
- Sales are expected to decline once again over the next 12 months as it continues working through a challenging demand environment
- Overall productivity fell over the last year as its plummeting sales were accompanied by a decline in its operating margin

Two Stocks Under $50 to Watch:

Share Price: $29.29

Share Price: $36.39
With a team of approximately 450,000 employees across 75 countries, Concentrix (NASDAQ: CNXC) designs and delivers customer experience solutions that help global brands manage their customer interactions across digital channels and contact centers.
Why Does CNXC Stand Out?

- $9.72 billion in revenue allows it to spread its fixed costs across a wider base
- Free cash flow margin of 5.6% over the last five years means it can fund investments internally, mitigating its dependence on capital markets
At $36.39 per share, Concentrix trades at 3.1x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
