ERIC: 3 Technology Stocks Robinhood Investors Love Under $15

While many pro investors ignore the Robinhood crowd, labeling them as undisciplined investors because of their speculatory bets, there’s nothing wrong with a stock being popular on a trading platform, even without enough fundamental strength. Even though every Robinhood-listed stock may not pan out and become winners in the long term, there could be certain high-quality stocks that possess the right ingredients, along with popularity, to deliver market-beating returns.

Robinhood’s list of popular stocks offers a peek into the stocks that millennials are focusing on and are bullish about. Some of these stocks are on the cutting edge of innovation while also having a proven track-record of past performance. As major tech stocks are pretty expensive right now thanks to their ability to capitalize on the pandemic, betting on some low-priced technology stocks from the Robinhood list that possess enough growth catalysts could result in exponential returns.

Robinhood stocks like Ericsson ADS (ERIC), Zynga, Inc. (ZNGA), and GoPro, Inc. (GPRO) have strong fundamentals and is poised for future growth. These technology stocks are making waves in their respective sectors and are beating the path to become market leaders.
