  • 3 Promising UK Penny Stocks Over £40M Market Cap to Watch
    January 30, 2026, 4:24 PM EST. Despite recent pressures on the UK market, driven by weak trade data from China pushing the FTSE 100 lower, select penny stocks-smaller companies trading at low prices-offer potential for growth. Among those with market capitalizations over £40 million, Foresight Group Holdings, Warpaint London, and ME Group International stand out for strong financial health and solid fundamentals. Brickability Group Plc, with a £173 million market cap, showed 28.9% earnings growth last year and maintains sound liquidity, though its dividend yield coverage raised questions. Kooth plc, valued at £49 million, delivers digital mental health services and remains financially stable. These picks suggest niche opportunities amid broader market volatility in the UK equity space.
