Finding high-quality investment opportunities among stocks priced under $10 is a challenge considering most companies with low stock prices have significant risks and uncertain futures.
However, there are a handful of hidden gems that offer frugal investors a rare combination of affordability and strong fundamental potential.
These investments come with all the perks of stocks trading for hundreds of dollars a share, but they won’t cost you an arm and a leg. And at under $10, these stocks have major upside potential. Bank of America analysts have sifted through the market to identify eight high-quality, low-priced stocks under $10:
Stock
Mizuho Financial Group Inc. （ticker: MFG）
Itau Unibanco Holding S.A. （ITUB）
Banco Bradesco S.A. （BBD）
Grab Holdings Ltd. （GRAB）
Blue Owl Capital Inc. （OWL）
Aegon Ltd. （AEG）
Grifols S.A. （GRFS）

Mizuho Financial Group Inc. （MFG）
Mizuho Financial is one of Japan’s largest financial services companies. The company’s leading brands include Mizuho Bank, Mizuho Trust & Banking, Mizuho Securities, Asset Management One and Mizuho Research & Technologies. Analyst Shinichiro Nakamura says Mizuho is his top stock pick among major Japanese banks. Mizuho’s stock has outperformed since early 2025, and Nakamura says that outperformance is a reflection of the company’s commitment to core earnings-per-share growth. Mizuho also recently increased the pace of its share buybacks, a signal of financial confidence. Bank of America has a “buy” rating and $9.70 price target for MFG stock, which closed at $7.74 on March 18.
Itau Unibanco Holding S.A. （ITUB）
Itau Unibanco is a leading Brazilian bank and financial services provider that accounts for roughly 20% of Brazil’s commercial foreign exchange market. The bank also provides financial products and services such as asset management, investment banking and insurance throughout Latin America. Analyst Mario Pierry says Itau’s history of superior execution sets it apart from competitors. Pierry says Itau is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the next economic expansion cycle in Brazil given its focus on technology, high-income retail banking, and small- and medium-sized businesses and investments. Bank of America has a “buy” rating and $9.30 price target for ITUB stock, which closed at $8.06 on March 18.
Banco Bradesco S.A. （BBD）
Banco Bradesco is one of Brazil’s largest banks. Bradesco is Brazil’s leading private-sector bank in several key segments, including insurance, leasing, private pension funds and asset management. In February, Bradesco announced plans to merge its health care assets with Odontoprev in a reverse initial public offering. Pierry says the transaction will significantly improve Bradesco’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio as the bank focuses on its five-year turnaround plan. He says Bradesco can reach a return on equity of 17% by the end of the year. Bank of America has a “buy” rating and $4.80 price target for BBD stock, which closed at $3.53 on March 18.
Grab Holdings Ltd. （GRAB）
Grab is a leading super-app in Southeast Asia, providing services such as deliveries, mobility and digital financial services to millions of customers in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia and Myanmar. The Grab app connects millions of users, drivers and merchants, and the company generates revenue via commissions on transactions. Analyst Sachin Salgaonkar says Grab is on track for steady revenue growth and profitability in its mobility and deliveries business. Salgaonkar says Grab’s super-app status creates flywheel cross-selling opportunities and helps unlock synergies. Bank of America has a “buy” rating and $6.20 price target for GRAB stock, which closed at $3.75 on March 18.
Blue Owl Capital Inc. （OWL）
Blue Owl Capital is an alternative asset management firm that provides attractive financing and capital solutions to investment management firms and their portfolio companies. It manages several business development companies, including Blue Owl Capital Corp., Blue Owl Technology Income Corp. and Blue Owl Capital Corp. II. Analyst Craig Siegenthaler says Blue Owl’s high-yield, high-growth, high-margin and capital-light business model is very attractive. Siegenthaler says recent weakness in Blue Owl’s stock price stems from misconceptions among investors about private credit market weakness. Bank of America has a “buy” rating and $24 price target for OWL stock, which closed at $9.11 on March 18.
Aegon Ltd. （AEG）
Aegon is a Dutch insurance company that offers insurance, savings, pension, and investment products and services around the world. In December, Aegon announced plans to move its headquarters to the U.S. and change its name to Transamerica, a transition that it aims to complete by the end of 2027. Analyst David Barma says Aegon is focusing on improving Aegon’s quality of capital and strengthening its balance sheet ahead of its move to the U.S. Barma anticipates strong capital returns in coming years. Bank of America has a “buy” rating and $8.34 price target for AEG stock, which closed at $6.95 on March 18.
Grifols S.A. （GRFS）
Grifols is a health care company headquartered in Spain that manufactures blood plasma-derived therapies. The company’s leading products include immunoglobulins used to treat immunodeficiencies and neurological disorders and albumin products used in critical care for conditions such as liver failure and burns. Analyst Sachin Jain says Grifols’ stock trades at a discounted valuation relative to peers as the company continues to build back trust in the wake of post-COVID-19 struggles and accounting issues. However, Jain says that discount is also a buying opportunity for long-term investors. Bank of America has a “buy” rating and $12.20 price target for GRFS stock, which closed at $7.87 on March 18.
Gerdau S.A. （GGB）
Gerdau is a Brazilian steel producer that specializes in long steel products and operates throughout the Americas. The company also runs a major scrap metal recycling operation. Analyst Caio Ribeiro says the U.S. long steel market has been resilient as of late, including robust demand, extended lead times and higher prices. Looking ahead, he says tariff hikes on U.S. steel imports could continue to drive prices higher. At the same time, Ribeiro says Gerdau’s planned capital expenditure reductions in 2026 will improve earnings free cash flow. Bank of America has a “buy” rating and $5 price target for GGB stock, which closed at $3.28 on March 18.
