Got $500? 5 Ridiculously Cheap Stocks You Can Buy Now

Parkev Tatevosian, CFA•Jul 12, 2026

Summary

Parkev presents a thesis that several high-growth companies are currently trading at 'ridiculously cheap' prices relative to their intrinsic value. Parkev utilizes two primary valuation methods: a fair value estimate based on business fundamentals and a market multiples approach using forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios. Parkev suggests that these stocks are ideal for investors with limited capital who wish to avoid fractional shares, as all are priced below $100.

Uber (UBER): Parkev calculates a fair value of $125 for Uber, which currently trades at $74. Parkev argues that the stock is undervalued due to exaggerated optimism regarding Tesla's vertical integration in driverless cars. Parkev believes Uber will successfully partner with other autonomous technology providers to maintain market share.

Celsius (CELH): Parkev states that Celsius is a phenomenal growth prospect trading near its 52-week low of $27 with a fair value of $57.55. Parkev highlights the importance of its strategic partnership with Pepsico, which secures critical shelf space in major retailers like Walmart and Costco. Parkev also notes that the company is in the early stages of its international expansion.

DraftKings (DKNG): Parkev values DraftKings at $38 per share, significantly higher than its current $26 market price. Parkev notes that the rise of unregulated prediction markets has created a temporary headwind for the stock. Parkev expects that future regulatory shifts will favor DraftKings because the company has already spent years gaining legal approval state-by-state.

Netflix (NFLX): Parkev views Netflix as the best-in-class streaming pioneer with operating profit margins exceeding 30%. Parkev estimates the fair value at over $127 per share, while the market price is currently $75. Parkev is particularly bullish on the company's ability to create high-quality original content without relying on licensing.

Pinterest (PINS): Parkev argues that Pinterest is highly undervalued with a fair value of $59 compared to its $22 market price. Parkev favors the user-generated content business model because it allows the company to monetize content created by others at a low cost. Parkev also emphasizes the strong customer value proposition since the platform remains free for users.

Furthermore, Parkev points out that all these stocks trade at below-average forward P/E multiples: DraftKings at 24, Uber at 22, Celsius at 18.75, Netflix at 21, and Pinterest at 11.9. Parkev personally owns Uber, Netflix, and Pinterest, and expresses interest in adding Celsius and DraftKings to their portfolio.
