The $10-50 price range often includes mid-sized businesses with proven track records and plenty of growth runway ahead. They also usually carry less risk than penny stocks, though they’re not immune to volatility as many lack the scale advantages of their larger peers.
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 is one stock under $50 with huge potential and two best left ignored.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:
First Financial Bankshares (FFIN)
Share Price: $31.49
With roots dating back to 1890 and a network spanning over 70 locations across the Lone Star State, First Financial Bankshares (NASDAQ: FFIN) is a Texas-focused regional bank providing commercial banking, trust services, and wealth management across numerous communities throughout the state.
Why Does FFIN Give Us Pause?
- Muted 5.8% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its banking peers
- Net interest income trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 7.7% annual growth was below the typical banking firm
- Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last five years as its EPS grew by just 5.3% annually
First Financial Bankshares’s stock price of $31.49 implies a valuation ratio of 2.4x forward P/B. To fully understand why you should be careful with FFIN, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).
PROG (PRG)
Share Price: $30.44
Evolving from its origins as Aaron's, Inc. before rebranding in 2020, PROG Holdings (NYSE: PRG) provides alternative payment solutions including lease-to-own options and second-look credit products for consumers who may not qualify for traditional financing.
Why Do We Pass on PRG?
- Sales were flat over the last five years, indicating it’s failed to expand this cycle
- Sales over the last five years were less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 6.2% annually while its revenue was flat
- Loan losses and capital returns have eroded its tangible book value per share this cycle as its tangible book value per share declined by 12.9% annually over the last five years
At $30.44 per share, PROG trades at 8.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering PRG for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Why Will DOCS Beat the Market?
