Here at Zacks, we tend to avoid classifying stocks as “cheap” or “inexpensive.” Instead, we have a proven system that is based on earnings estimate revisions to find stocks that will hopefully have our readers seeing green.

That being said, low-priced stocks are often attractive to investors that can’t necessarily afford big stakes in higher priced stocks. Money can be especially tight this time of year, and investors might be interested in these five stocks that are currently trading below $20 per share.
