I may have called it one ahead of time. But now, after it’s slipped below $5 per share, Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) is officially a penny stock.

To call Senseonics Holdings (NYSEAMERICAN:SENS) a penny stock isn’t to say it sells for a penny. The phrase refers to any stock with a low price and low market capitalization, and SENS stock currently goes for about $2.70 per share.
