There are stocks on the TSX that are expensive, reasonably priced, undervalued, and cheap. However, there are ludicrously cheap stocks that can be purchased for less than $10.00 per share. Interestingly, many investors build their portfolios on these stocks. The gains could be comparable to some dividend-paying stocks.

More important is that youโ€™re spending money on good investments. The companies are well established and capable of fulfilling the financial goals of budget-conscious investors.

Chemical solutions in the oil and natural gas industry

CES Energy Solutions Corp. (TSX:CEU) is a leading provider of technically advanced consumable chemical solutions throughout the life-cycle of the oilfield.

The $572 million company has been existence since 1986. Drilling fluids and producing specialty chemicals for the oil and natural gas producers are the core competencies. The two segments combined can deliver $1.2 billion revenue.

If you try to imagine the magnitude CES Energyโ€™s operations and the revenue stream the business generates, the current price of $2.25 is outrageously cheap. There is extra windfall because the company also pays annual dividend of 2.85%.

Earn like royalty

A multi-royalty corporation that pays 7.26% dividend will be a top choice of dividend investors. But if the price per share is only $3.08, budget-conscious investors and bargain hunters will line up to receive the royalties.

Diversified Royalty Corp. (TSX:DIV) is in the business of purchasing trademarks of companies then negotiates royalty agreements with them. The Royalty Partners retain full operational control of the business and benefit from the companyโ€™s growth. They also get tax relief from the royalty payments made to DIV.

Currently, the company owns the trademark of Air Miles, Mr. Lube, Mr. Mikes, and Sutton. All of the four are top line royalty acquisitions. Analysts are even projecting a price appreciation of 48.3% which is the hefty bonus.
