Along with Diana, Edward Woo of Ascendiant also has a Buy rating on SurgePays stock.
Overall, SURG’s average price target of $9.38 implies 117.1% upside potential.

Can You Get Rich from Penny Stocks?
Penny stocks are the shares of companies with a market cap of $300 million or less. Their low dollar price and potential to deliver stellar returns attract investors.
However, Penny stocks are a risky investment and quite speculative. Thus, investors with a high appetite for risk could consider investing in penny stocks. Also, investing all of your savings into penny stocks is not advisable, and investors should only put a small fraction of it into them.
As for SurgePays, the company is growing fast and is on course to acquire more wireless subscribers, which should support its growth.
