The London markets have recently faced downward pressure, with the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices slipping amidst concerns over China’s economic recovery and its impact on global trade. In such a climate, investors often turn their attention to penny stocks, a term that may seem outdated but still signifies potential opportunities in smaller or newer companies. By focusing on those with strong balance sheets and solid fundamentals, investors can uncover promising prospects in this segment of the market.
