Best Penny Stocks to Buy Today
The penny stocks that actually cleared a liquidity screen today, the criteria used to find them, and the dilution traps that separate a tradeable low-priced share from a value destroyer. Everything here is a watchlist, not a recommendation.
What counts as a penny stock
Most screens treat any share trading under $5 as a penny stock, even though the term originally described OTC names trading for literal pennies. The stricter filter — shares under $1 with the highest trading volume of the day — is the one that matters for a NIVF-style trade, because a low price on a tiny float is where the fastest moves and the worst slippage both live.
Today's screen
Most active penny stocks by dollar volume
Dollar volume — shares traded multiplied by price — is the cleanest first filter, because it proves the name can be entered and exited in size. On the September 30 close the leaders were Generation Essentials Group, Tenon Medical and Connect Biopharma Holdings, each trading between roughly $182M and $301M of dollar volume.
| Ticker | Company | What it is | Why it screened |
|---|---|---|---|
| TGE | Generation Essentials Group | Paris-based group owning media, entertainment, hotel and investment businesses. | Top of the dollar-volume table at about $301M, with the shares up roughly 87% and first-half revenue up 35.8% to $30.8M. |
| TNON | Tenon Medical | Minimally invasive spine and bone-cement device developer. | Among the highest dollar volumes of the day for a sub-$5 medical device name. |
| CNTB | Connect Biopharma Holdings | Clinical-stage immunology and respiratory biotech. | Screened on dollar volume as biotech flow returned into the low-priced complex. |
| NIVF | NewGenIvf Group Limited | Assisted reproductive services group with clinics in Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Kyrgyzstan. | Compact Nasdaq-listed company with a sub-million-share float; the subject of our positive NIVF price prediction. |
Screen data reflects the September 30, 2026 close as reported by penny-stock screeners. It is a snapshot of activity, not a ranking of quality, and it changes every session.
Also on the list
Low-priced retail favourites worth tracking
A second cluster of names trades on Nasdaq or NYSE, often above the $5 line, and still behaves like a penny stock: fast, retail-driven, and catalyst-dependent. These are the tickers that dominate beginner watchlists because commission-free brokers put them in front of millions of accounts.
- Nokia (NYSE: NOK)
- SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI)
- Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN)
- Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN)
- Snap (NYSE: SNAP)
- Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F)
Criteria
The seven filters behind this list
- 01Price under $5, ideally under $1 if you are specifically looking for NIVF-style upside potential.
- 02Dollar volume above roughly $50M, so the exit is as real as the entry.
- 03Listed on Nasdaq or NYSE rather than OTC, for better disclosure and tighter spreads.
- 04A dated, named catalyst inside the next quarter: earnings, an FDA decision, a contract, an M&A window.
- 05A share count that is not expanding every month — check the last two capital raises before you commit.
- 06Insider and institutional ownership that is visible and stable, not a 58% insider block with 1% institutions.
- 07A position size that is boring if it goes to zero, because a meaningful share of penny stocks do.
