The U.S. Federal Reserve’s refraining from hiking interest rates at its September meeting might have boosted the investment landscape for small-cap stocks.
The pause was much needed as it averts the risk of the U.S. economy plunging into recession. With the prospect of the Fed cutting interest rates next year, sentiments in the equity markets are on an upward trajectory. Stocks trading below $10 a share remain well positioned to benefit from the Fed going slow on interest rate hikes. Interest rate cuts should lower borrowing costs, making it easy for these companies to access cheap capital through loans and other investments to finance their growth plans. For long-term investors, now could be the best time to take a closer look at stocks trading at highly discounted levels, especially those trading below $10 a share, as underlying fundamentals improve.
