Penny stocks are attractive, in part, because of their growth potential. Analyzing revenue growth helps you to identify those penny stocks that have the most potential. A high-growth company might not be a penny stock for long! Coupled with the margin and leverage analysis, you can decide which penny stocks you’d like to research further.
Learn more about analyzing revenue growth here.
Quarterly Revenue Growth Q/Q looks at the most recent quarterly revenue amount and compares it to the previous quarter. For instance, this year’s Q2 revenue is compared to this year’s Q1 revenue.
Annual Revenue Growth Y/Y looks at the most recently reported fiscal year’s revenue and compares it to the previous fiscal year’s revenue. This is not revenue for the trailing twelve months (TTM).

Penny stocks aren’t exactly known for their profitability. However, there are many that have healthy gross, operating, and net profit margins. The more revenue that a penny stock can carry to the bottom line, the bigger your profit potential!
Learn more about margin analysis here.
Gross Margin = Gross Profit Curr Year ÷ Annual Rev Curr Year. Gross margins can vary widely by industry. Typically, high gross margin industries are more desirable than low gross margin industries. If a company has a negative gross margin that might mean that they have poor pricing strategies. Or, that they have little control over their cost of goods sold (COGS)/cost of sales (COS).
Operating Margin = Operating Profit Curr Year ÷ Annual Rev Curr Year. If gross margins are bad, then operating margins will probably be worse. If a company is young and dumping a lot of money into marketing or R&D – those investments might pay off big time! On the other hand, if most operating expenses consist of salaries for upper management then that particular penny stock might be a dud.
Net Margin = Net Profit Curr Year ÷ Annual Rev Curr Year. Net margin is the percentage of revenue carried down to the bottom line. It’s the profit available to shareholders (like you!) after taxes and interest are paid. Sometimes, other expenses or income can make the Net Margin erratic. A penny stock doesn’t necessarily need to have a positive Net Margin to qualify as a good investment. If it’s a viable company, it should, someday, turn a profit.
What would a 50% change in revenue mean for your penny stock?

Penny stocks, like anyone, can earn extraordinary returns from leverage. Leverage can take two forms for a company – operating and financial. Leverage is a double-edged sword, however. It can hurt as much as it can help.
Learn more about operating leverage here.
Learn more about financial leverage here.
Degree of Operating Leverage is measured by comparing the change in Operating Profit to the Change in Annual Revenue. For example, if a company has a Degree of Operating Leverage of 1.5, then a 50% increase in Revenue would be expected to result in a 75% increase in Operating Profit (50% × 1.5). The reverse is also true. A 50% decrease in Revenue would be expected to result in a 75% decrease in Operating Profit (-50% × 1.5)!
Degree of Financial Leverage is measured by comparing Operating Profit to Interest Expense. For example, if a company has a Degree of Financial Leverage of 1.1, then a 50% increase in Operating Profit would be expected to result in a 55% increase in Net Profit (50% × 1.1). Again, the reverse is also true. A 50% decrease in Operating Profit would be expected to result in a 55% decrease in Net Profit (-50% × 1.1)!
