  • Top Asian Penny Stocks to Watch in February 2026
    February 3, 2026, 12:27 AM EST. Asian penny stocks remain intriguing for investors chasing small-cap growth opportunities amid a volatile market environment. Notable picks include Lever Style (SEHK:1346), Asia Medical and Agricultural Laboratory and Research Center (SET:AMARC), and TK Group (SEHK:2283), all rated with strong financial health. China Overseas Grand Oceans (HK$8.54 billion market cap) shows resilience despite a 19.8% drop in contracted sales in 2025, supported by substantial short-term assets covering liabilities. Profitability is under pressure, but earnings are forecast to grow at over 25%. The broader sector offers a diverse landscape, including companies like International Cement Group Ltd. navigating varied regional markets.
