Top 5G Penny Stocks-2021

5g penny stocks

5G is the fifth generation of cellular networks. While its predecessor 4G LTE mostly focused on high-speed video streaming, major stakeholders claim 5G to do much more than just seamless video streaming or endless smooth calls. 5G is poised to bring the whole internet under one umbrella with the help of promising technologies like the cloud and IoT (internet of things). It will not only benefit the urban population but also cover the rural areas as it will be mostly wireless. The potential of 5G is still hard to assess. However, the installation has started in many parts of the world with basic uses, only with higher speed and smoothness.

5G is set to revolutionize the entire world and almost all the sectors will be benefited from it. However, the major stakeholders will be the telecom, semiconductor, and internet infrastructure sectors. The major frontrunners in 5G are giants like Apple, Ericsson, Nokia, Verizon, AT&T, etc. Some small-cap telecom companies have also hopped on the bandwagon and started to capitalize on this next big thing. I have tried to analyze some of them based on basic fundamentals and vision with the help of marketXLS.

My top 5 picks

One can get a rough idea about a stock from its profits and some key ratios irrespective of the sector. However, in the case of the Telecomm sector, you should always look for what the company is up to with respect to new technologies. Here, I have tried to shed some light on the stances taken by companies to make the most out of 5G.

Most of them are based outside the US but can be traded using ADRs.

Vodacom Group(ADR)

Vodacom Group, erstwhile a subsidiary of UK-based telecom giant Vodafone group is now a standalone business. It caters to the south African nation and also some parts of the rest of Africa. Vodacom is the largest telecom operator in South Africa. As far as 5g is concerned, it has already launched its services in Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Cape town, three of the major cities in South Africa. The stock is currently trading at $8.48 in the US.

In terms of setting up 5g infrastructures, MTN is not very far from Vodacom and has already launched its 5g services in some of the major cities of South Africa.

The bottom line

While most investors prefer to stay away from penny stocks, it is not always a bad idea to trade them, provided you do a detailed analysis of such stocks. As you can see in my 5 picks there are stocks with decent profit margins and ROEs. Some of them even pay dividends. All in all, 5G stocks have huge growth potential in the near future. If you are skeptical about small-cap stocks, go for more stable stocks like the ones I have cited at the very beginning of this article.
