The term generally refers to stocks trading below $5 per share. As any early investor in Amazon , Apple , NVIDIA or other juggernauts will tell you, when you manage to correctly predict a future Wall Street darling while it’s still a penny stock and keep holding it over the long term, you’ll be happy with the results.

SoundHound is not yet profitable, but its revenue has been growing rapidly, soaring 73% in the first quarter. The company also revised its annual revenue projections upward to a new range of $65 million to $77 million. SoundHound has a median price target of $8 per share, which would be a 95% increase over the current price. Even the lowest price-target estimate is $5 per share, a 22% increase, so it’s clear that analysts are bullish on its prospects. 2.
