4 Top-Rated Stocks Under $10 to Buy This Month

Though the major stock market indexes made a comeback yesterday following statements from the Biden administration hinting at the possibility of removing U.S tariffs on China, concerns over surging inflation and consequent monetary policy tightening are anticipated to keep the stock market under pressure in the near term. Therefore, we think it could be wise to bet on fundamentally sound low-priced stocks Assertio Holdings, Inc. (ASRT), Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (OSG), SunCoke Energy, Inc. (SXC), and Global Cord Blood Corporation (CO). These stocks are top-rated in our proprietary rating system.

U.S. stocks rallied yesterday after notching seven weeks of continuous losses. The S&P 500 recovered after almost entering a bear market territory during Friday's session. The index climbed 1.9%, while the Dow Jones and Nasdaq composite rose nearly 2% and 1.6%, respectively. This move came after President Biden commented that he was considering relaxing some tariffs on Chinese goods that had been imposed during the prior administration.

However, the stock market has been underperforming since the beginning of the year due to several macroeconomic factors. And despite yesterday's rally, the Fed's hawkish stance to tame the surging inflation and fears of a possible recession could keep the stock market under pressure. Moreover, continued geopolitical uncertainties and rising energy costs could increase market volatility. According to "Shark Tank" star and Cyderes CEO Robert Herjavec, the U.S. stock market will plunge 20%-30% even further before hitting bottom.

Because macroeconomic and geopolitical factors are unlikely to alter anytime soon, investors may benefit by investing in fundamentally sound low-priced stocks. That’s why today we’re highlighting 4 stocks from our Top 10 Under $10 screen, which is just 1 of the 10 screens in our POWR Screens 10 service (more on that below). Assertio Holdings, Inc.
