Stocks trading between $10 and $50 can be particularly interesting as they frequently represent businesses that have survived their early challenges. However, investors should remain vigilant as some may still have unproven business models, leaving them vulnerable to the ebbs and flows of the broader market.
This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. That said, here are two stocks under $50 that could 10x and one that could be down big.
One Stock Under $50 to Sell:
Malibu Boats (MBUU)
Share Price: $24.25
Founded in California in 1982, Malibu Boats (NASDAQ: MBUU) is a manufacturer of high-performance sports boats and luxury watercrafts.
Why Is MBUU Risky?
- Demand for its offerings was relatively low as its number of boats sold has underwhelmed
- Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 14.9% annually
- Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions
Malibu Boats is trading at $24.25 per share, or 18x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why MBUU doesn’t pass our bar.
Two Stocks Under $50 to Watch:
GitLab (GTLB)
Share Price: $44.34

Why Is GTLB a Top Pick?
- Customers view its software as mission-critical to their operations as its ARR has averaged 30.9% growth over the last year
- Software is difficult to replicate at scale and leads to a best-in-class gross margin of 88.5%
- GTLB is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders
