No they don't.
The most significant difference between penny stocks and other stocks is that penny stocks do not undergo the same level of regulatory oversight. For example, penny stock companies do not have to release audited financial records. Shareholders have virtually no verifiable information on the inner workings of these companies.
Another important difference is how penny stocks are traded. Major exchanges such as the NYSE and Nasdaq do not list penny stocks; instead, they are relegated to secondary markets such as the Pink Sheets. The lack of liquidity is especially important for traders of penny stocks; because of the low per-share price, it is not unusual for individuals to hold hundreds of thousands, or even millions of shares. When the liquidity disappears, it becomes impossible to exit such large positions without drastically affecting the share price.
Penny stocks have a deserved reputation for fraudulent activity, and over the years a colorful vocabulary has developed to describe the various schemes. One common technique is known the Pump and Dump. A small group of traders will quietly buy a large block of shares in an inactive penny stock. Once their positions are loaded, they begin spreading extremely positive sounding rumors about the company in an attempt to push up the price. The converse trick, spreading false rumors in an attempt to drive down the price, is known as the Poop and Scoop.

No.
One in a hundred "penny stocks" actually turns into a real company with real revenue; all the others are just attempts to raise operating funds for business ventures which ultimately fail and go bankrupt, leaving investors with nothing.
Unless you are friends with the folks running the company, and trust their business model and prospects, don't waste your money.
But don't take my word for it, just look at the data, you stand to make far better money luring other investors into buying 'penny stock' in your own company, if you have sufficiently few scruples!
:
[Almost any Internet user with an e-mail address will have been exposed to penny stock promotions through e-mail spam. Approximately fifty-five billion unsolicited "spam" e-mail messages are sent each day, a significant proportion of which tout penny stocks, usually as part of a pump and dump scheme. According to a study conducted at Oxford,[8] 15% of all spam was related to penny stock fraud. According to the study, "People who respond to the "pump and dump" scam can lose 8% of their investment in two days. Conversely, the spammers who buy low-priced stock before sending the e-mails, typically see a return of between 4.9% and 6% when they sell."] |

A true penny stock good luck!
It depends on what exchange they were purchased. The bulletin board and U.S. based pink sheets are pretty much a tough road to hoe-. don't even bother with them. However, low priced pinks on international exchanges like the LSE and TSX are fairly commonplace and with proper research and knowledge of a news event can yield a mint but make sure your broker can efficiently handle those transactions.
For instance, I bought MAUXF two weeks ago at 26 cents U.S. and they are now 59 cents U.S. |

Penny stocks are common stocks that trade for less than $5 a share. They are not a wise place to put money |

You can't daytrade them effectively, there's not enough liquidity. But if you have the time, and the inclination towards the profit, good due diligence gets rewarded. |
