In this article, we discuss the 10 cheapest stocks with the biggest upside. If you want to read about some more cheapest stocks with the biggest upside, go directly to 5 Cheapest Stocks With Biggest Upside.

According to the advance estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis in late October 2022, the real gross domestic product (GDP) in the US increased at an annual rate of 2.6 percent in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in real GDP reflected increases in exports, consumer spending, nonresidential fixed investment, federal government spending, and state and local government spending, which were partly offset by decreases in residential fixed investment and private inventory investment.

The stock market has been witnessing high volumes as the latest numbers from the Bureau of Economic Analysis indicate that the US economy grew an annualized 2.9% at the end of 2022, better than the initial estimate of 2.6%, and beating forecasts of 2.7%. The performance reflects the upward revisions to consumer and business spending and net trade. The biggest positive contribution came from net trade, as imports sank more while exports rose more. The nonresidential investment jumped at a faster 5.1% which is better than the expected 3.7%.

Considering the expenditure side, personal consumption expenditures account for 68% of total GDP, out of which purchases of goods constitute 23% and services 45%. Moreover, private investment accounts for 16% of GDP and government consumption and investment for 18%. The figures paint a warmer picture for the US economy considering the slowdown witnessed in the first two quarters of the year, boosting stocks like NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD), and Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX).

As far as the global economy is concerned, it is still adjusting to the pandemic shock and the subsequent policy response. In 2023, the US economy will continue to face a rather different set of risks, according to a recent Bloomberg report which shows that a recession is effectively certain in the next 12 months. Likewise, analysis published by Financial Times shows that economists are thinking about a recession likely to happen in the US, with the probability of such a recession being more than 60%.

Moreover, tightening financial conditions, persistent inflation and expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve are raising the risk of a contraction as well. These uncertainties are fanning the flames of inflation and nudging the Fed toward an even more aggressive policy path. However, there is hope that the cyclical sector of the US market still contains plausible soft-landing potential, a combination of an outcome where job openings are falling while the unemployment rate remains low.

As the stock market recovers from a dismal 2022 and prepares for an uncertain 2023, investors eager for an entry point into the stock world should consider investing in some cheap stocks that have explosive growth potential. These options can provide investors with some balanced risk/reward profiles in a market where investments in value stocks are soaring and putting money into prominent growth stocks carries much higher levels of risk. Some of these options are discussed below.

Investing in the US market is also advisable since it is the largest and the most accessible market in the world. No other market is as liquid as the US stock market. The number of listed companies in the US far outnumber those in other parts of the world. The NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange also represent one of the single biggest concentrations of money in global history. This means that they have a large market capitalization and high transaction volumes, boosting chances of solid returns.

A New Dawn is Coming to U.S. Stocks

Published on September 27, 2024 at by Insider Monkey Staff

I work for one of the largest independent financial publishers in the world – representing over 1 million people in 148 countries.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
