Best Cheapest Companies To Watch For 2014

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC  ) has been hitting record highs lately, leading some to wonder whether the stock market is overpriced. Yet when you look at certain stocks within the S&P, you'll notice a few with very low share prices, making it seem like perhaps they're a better deal.

By itself, share price can't tell you how much a company is worth, as you also have to look at the number of shares that are outstanding. For instance, Bank of America has a relatively low share price of around $13, which is just a fraction of most of its big-bank peers. Yet B of A has far more outstanding shares than most of its peers, putting its overall market cap much closer to its rivals' figures.

Even with that caveat, low share prices can indicate that a stock hasn't performed to its full potential. So with that in mind, let's take a closer look at the four stocks in the S&P that have the cheapest shares.

Best Cheapest Companies To Watch For 2014: Zogenix Inc (ZGNX)

Zogenix, Inc. (Zogenix), incorporated on May 11, 2006, is a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain. The Company�� product Sumavel DosePro offers needle-free subcutaneous administration of sumatriptan for the treatment of migraine and cluster headache in a pre-filled, single-use delivery system. Its lead product candidate, Zohydro (hydrocodone bitartrate, formerly ZX002) is a 12-hour extended-release formulation of hydrocodone without acetaminophen for the treatment of chronic pain requiring opioid therapy. It completed Phase 3 development of Zohydro in 2011. Its second DosePro investigational product candidate, Relday, is a injectable formulation of risperidone for the treatment of schizophrenia. Sumavel DosePro and Zohydro are used for the treatment options available to patients and physicians in the United States. Sumavel DosePro may serve as a treatment alternative to oral and nasal triptans and offers administration when compared to traditional, needle-based sumatriptan injection. In May, 2012, it submitted a New Drug Application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The Company�� collaboration with Astellas has been terminated on March 31, 2012. Sumavel DosePro is a pre-filled, single-use disposable, needle-free drug delivery system that subcutaneously delivers 6 mg of sumatriptan in 0.5 mL of sterile liquid. Sumavel DosePro is designed to be portable, intuitive and easy-to-use. To use, the patient simply snaps off a plastic tip, flips back a lever and presses the end of the delivery system to the skin of the abdomen or thigh. Under the force of a small amount of compressed nitrogen gas, the liquid form of sumatriptan is expelled out of the device as a thin jet of medication, which pierces the skin and selectively deposits into the subcutaneous tissue.
