With the S&P 500 hovering near all-time highs, it’s not easy to find high-potential stocks that fit every pocket. Yet, history shows time and again that this is often where the most impressive long-term growth stories begin.
The greatest example is none other than , worth $7.50 per share when Warren Buffett began buying it in December 1962. More than 5 million % gains later, and the company’s Class A stock now trades at a modest $736,469 a share as of this writing.
But while Berkshire Hathaway might be a one-in-a-million type case, the good news is you don’t need to find the next Berkshire Hathaway to outperform.
In fact, many of the expensive names of today’s market once traded for under $10 a share—take , , , (all split-adjusted), just to name a few.

How to spot under-$10 stocks with long-term upside potential
Returning to our search for stocks below $10, we’ve noticed that many of the stocks identified by the “Under $10/Share” screen are currently vastly overvalued, and/or display a risky profile.
If you’re a long-term investor looking for stocks with a lower risk profile, you can adapt this search.
For example, we have refined the search by adding the following parameters:
Upward potential according to Fair Value greater than 20% (to target undervalued stocks)
Increase of at least +25% over one month (instead of one week)
Volume greater than 5 million shares (to target liquid stocks)
With these modifications, the search showed eight stocks:
These stocks, which have gained from +26.5% to +140.6% over the past month, have a potential of +23.6% to +47.7% according to InvestingPro Fair Value.
Note: While the initial “Under $10/Share” search is available free of charge, the modifications we have made include features reserved for InvestingPro members, Pro+ plan.
