The market still offers compelling opportunities for investors looking for attractively priced stocks.
While many high-flying names trade above triple digits, a few quality picks remain under $10, an appealing entry point for budget-conscious investors.
To this end, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has identified two standout stocks trading below $10 that may be worth a closer look.
AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC)
AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) was the AI’s first pick, priced at just over $3 per share. It was highlighted for its potential growth backed by improving fundamentals. As of press time, AMC shares were trading at $3.15, down more than 21% year-to-date.
Long known as a meme stock favorite among Reddit traders, AMC appears to be evolving beyond its speculative roots.
In a recent milestone, the theater chain posted its third-highest five-day revenue total in over a decade. Over Memorial Day weekend, over seven million moviegoers visited its U.S. and international ODEON cinemas.
That holiday stretch also marked the best Friday-through-Sunday attendance of 2025, with food and beverage sales hitting their highest five-day total in the 2020s, second only to one other period in the company’s history.
ChatGPT emphasized that AMC’s strong brand recognition and elevated short interest could make it a prime candidate for a short squeeze, offering potentially outsized returns for speculative investors.
Nio (NYSE: NIO)
Next up is Nio (NYSE: NIO), once a high-flying electric vehicle (EV) darling whose shares traded above $60 in 2021. Now down to $3.51, off over 3% on the day and 22% year-to-date, NIO may offer a long-term buying opportunity.
Often dubbed “China’s Tesla,” NIO remains a significant force in the EV space, with a smart SUV and sedan lineup. The company is backed by the Chinese government and aligned with national policies favoring EV growth.
Importantly, Nio began deliveries of its second brand, Onvo, in late 2024 and plans to launch a third, Firefly, in 2025. With these additions, it’s targeting 440,000 vehicle deliveries this year, a goal that could drive meaningful revenue and margin expansion.
As signs emerge that China’s intense EV price war may be easing, and with new brands ramping up, ChatGPT views NIO as a no-brainer pick for long-term investors willing to weather short-term volatility.
