Penny shares are typically dangerous investments. However they are often price together with in a portfolio because of their potential for blockbuster good points.

Just lately, I scanned the marketplace for penny inventory alternatives to think about for 2025. Listed below are three shares that caught my eye.

DP Poland

First up, we’ve got DP Poland (LSE: DPP). It operates the Domino’s Pizza chain in Poland and Croatia. This firm’s rising quickly. This yr, income’s anticipated to come back in at £53.7m versus £44.6m final yr. For 2025, analysts count on income of £65.8m. That may symbolize development of greater than 20%.

If the corporate can proceed to develop like this, its share price ought to rise. It’s price noting that the corporate plans to open a whole bunch extra shops within the years forward – this could enhance development considerably.

Now, whereas Domino’s Pizza’s been profitable within the US and the UK, there aren’t any ensures the model will proceed to do effectively in Poland and Croatia. Simply because a product works in a single market doesn’t imply it’ll work in one other.

The corporate’s seeing success at current although, having registered year-on-year order development of 15% for the primary 9 months of 2024. So I’m optimistic about its potential.

1Spatial

Subsequent we’ve got 1Spatial (LSE: SPA). It’s a tech firm that helps authorities, utility, and transport organisations make sense of their geospatial (location) knowledge.

This firm’s grown at a wholesome price lately because it landed new clients. Between FY2019 and FY2024, revenues climbed from £17.6m to £32.3m. This had led to spectacular good points for traders. During the last 5 years, the share price has almost tripled.

However what caught my eye is the truth that near-term earnings are projected to surge. For the yr ending 31 January 2026, analysts count on earnings per share development of a whopping 63%. That development’s set to convey the valuation down considerably. At right now’s share price, the forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio’s solely 26, which isn’t notably excessive for a software program firm.

The danger with a enterprise like that is that contract wins sluggish, which might result in share price volatility. However the firm believes it has a “huge opportunity” forward, so I feel it’s price a more in-depth look.

Calnex Options

Lastly, we’ve got Calnex Options (LSE: CLX). It offers check and measurement options for the worldwide telecommunications and cloud computing markets.

This inventory’s been a canine lately. I do know, as a result of I personal a couple of shares they usually’ve tanked. The issue has been difficult circumstances within the telecoms market. These have led to a serious slowdown in development.

However I proceed to see potential right here. Calnex operates in an essential, rising market. And the corporate believes it can return to development within the second half of the monetary yr ending 31 March 2025. If it does, the shares might see a serious re-rating.

Now, this inventory’s excessive up on the chance spectrum. If circumstances within the telecoms market stay difficult and development doesn’t decide up, the share price might tank once more.

Taking a three-to-five-year view nevertheless, I’m optimistic concerning the potential. Getting world telecom networks match for the digital age is more likely to require a variety of testing.
