In the meantime, the investor’s behavior changed due to rising uncertainty and for risk-averse investors, the cheap stocks with high potential are the best investment options. Let’s see the three cheap stocks for investment.

Zomedica (ZOM) is one of the most promising cheap stocks in the market. Zomedica is a development stage veterinary diagnostic and pharmaceutical company for dogs and cats. The company is well-positioned and has improved its performance during 2020 following a rise in pets’ products.
Recently, Zomedica recorded the first veterinarian sale of TRUFORMA® and officially entered commercialization. This will help the company grow its sales and give a competitive edge in the market. It’s a long-term success story for the company and investors would be quite proud of it.
