Everyone Sees the Small Cap Rally. Almost No One Is Buying It

Posted on August 18, 2026August 18, 2026 by [email protected]

Small-cap stocks just delivered their best first half on record, and almost nobody is talking about where the money went next.

U.S. small caps returned 22.93% in the first half of 2026, outpacing large caps at 9.55% by the widest margin in history for that stretch. It is the kind of number that normally sends investors scrambling to add exposure. Yet the flow of capital into small-cap funds tells a different story, one that raises an obvious question: if small caps are winning this decisively, why hasn’t the money followed?

The data shows a real disconnect. Small-cap ETFs pulled in roughly $7 billion during the first half of the year. Large-cap ETFs, by comparison, absorbed $309 billion over the same period. On the mutual fund side, small-cap funds have seen about $8 billion in net inflows year to date, a modest turnaround after $8 billion in outflows the year before. Actively managed small-cap funds have fared even worse, continuing to lose assets as investors keep shifting toward passive strategies more broadly.

In other words, small caps are outperforming while investors remain largely on the sidelines. That gap between performance and participation is unusual, and some market strategists see it as meaningful. State Street has pointed to the lag as a sign the rally may have room to keep running, arguing that a rotation this significant with so little capital chasing it is not the profile of a crowded trade. If allocators eventually catch up to the performance numbers, the argument goes, the current move could extend further rather than reverse.

Not everyone is convinced. BlackRock has reportedly kept a more cautious stance on small caps as a group, citing ongoing uncertainty around financing conditions and the broader macro backdrop. Smaller companies tend to carry more floating-rate debt and less balance sheet cushion than their large-cap counterparts, which makes them more sensitive to shifts in interest rates and credit availability. That sensitivity cuts both ways. It can amplify gains when conditions turn favorable, but it can just as easily amplify losses if the environment shifts.

There is also a more speculative data point worth noting with some caution. MoneyFlows, a firm that tracks proprietary money-flow signals, claims that nearly 98% of its tracked equity inflows this year have gone into companies with market capitalizations under $300 billion, which it frames as evidence of institutional accumulation building beneath the surface. Unlike the ETF and mutual fund flow data from sources such as Morningstar and State Street, this is a promotional research product, and the claim should be weighed accordingly.

What is clear is that small caps have already made their move on performance. Whether capital flows catch up, stall, or reverse from here may say more about the durability of this rally than the first-half numbers themselves. For investors watching the space, the next few months of fund flow data could matter as much as the earnings results that got small caps here in the first place.

Fulcrum Therapeutics Is Becoming a Migraine Drug Company. Here Is How

Posted on August 17, 2026August 17, 2026 by [email protected]

Fulcrum Therapeutics (Nasdaq: FULC) announced Monday it has entered into a definitive agreement to merge with privately held Slate Medicines in an all-stock transaction. The combined company will operate under the Slate Medicines name and pivot entirely away from Fulcrum’s original rare hematological disease pipeline toward Slate’s portfolio of next-generation migraine therapeutics. Alongside the merger, the companies announced an oversubscribed $245 million private placement from a syndicate of healthcare investors, expected to fund the combined operations into 2029.

This deal follows one of the more difficult stretches in Fulcrum’s history, and understanding that context is essential to understanding why this transaction exists at all. In June, Fulcrum discontinued development of pociredir, its lead drug candidate for sickle cell disease, after the FDA raised concerns about the drug’s benefit-risk profile in a recent meeting. Regulators specifically flagged an unexpectedly high rate of secondary hematologic malignancies observed in patients treated with a chemically related PRC2 inhibitor from another company, a drug that its own manufacturer had voluntarily pulled from shelves worldwide earlier this year. Fulcrum’s stock fell more than 50% on the news, and the company subsequently laid off 48 of its 57 employees, roughly 85% of its workforce, while beginning a formal review of strategic alternatives that included a merger, business combination, or other transaction. As of March 31, Fulcrum held $333.3 million in cash and marketable securities, enough runway to keep the company operating into 2029 on its own. Separately, and worth noting for full transparency, a law firm publicly announced last week it is investigating potential securities law violations tied to Fulcrum’s disclosures around the pociredir discontinuation. That investigation is ongoing and its outcome, if any, is not yet known.

Slate’s lead candidate, SLTE-1009, is a clinical-stage subcutaneous monoclonal antibody targeting PACAP and VIP pathways, developed as a potentially best-in-class preventative treatment for migraine. Migraine remains a large and underserved therapeutic market, and antibody-based preventative treatments targeting neuropeptide pathways have become one of the more actively pursued mechanisms in the space over the past several years.

A Familiar Small Cap Biotech Pattern

This transaction follows a structure we have covered before on ChannelChek: a publicly traded biotech whose original clinical program failed, leaving it with a Nasdaq listing, meaningful cash reserves, and no viable path forward on its own, becomes the vehicle through which a well-funded private biotech gains public market access without pursuing a traditional IPO. Rather than navigating the lengthy IPO process independently, Slate secures a public listing, a syndicate of institutional capital, and immediate resources to advance its lead asset, all in a single coordinated transaction.

For investors tracking this space, the Fulcrum-Slate combination is a useful reminder that a failed clinical trial does not automatically end a company’s story, particularly when meaningful cash remains on the balance sheet. It also underscores a genuine risk worth weighing carefully: shareholders who bought into Fulcrum’s original rare disease thesis are now effectively invested in an entirely different company, pursuing an unrelated therapeutic area, following a transaction that arrives while questions about the prior program’s disclosures remain unresolved. Reverse mergers of this type can create real value when the incoming asset is genuinely differentiated, but investors should evaluate the new company on its own clinical and commercial merits rather than assuming continuity with the business they originally invested in.

Release – Resolution Secures White House FAST-41 Transparency Coverage for Golden Gate Tungsten-Gold Target

Posted on August 17, 2026August 17, 2026 by [email protected]

PERMITTING COUNCIL SUPPORT EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE AGGRESSIVE EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ACROSS ENTIRE GOLDEN GATE TARGET AS RESOLUTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ITS INTEGRATED IDAHO ANTIMONY-TUNGSTEN-GOLD CRITICAL METALS PLATFORM

July 17, 2026 (Source) — HIGHLIGHTS

This is the second FAST-41 status granted to Resolution Minerals, demonstrating the high calibre of the Golden Gate asset and its strategic value as a potential source of U.S. domestic tungsten supply, and highlights the level of engagement RML has with the U.S. Government and the Permitting Council, and the attention Resolution’s projects are receiving from the highest levels of the current Administration.
FAST-41 is a special permitting framework being utilised by the Trump Administration to accelerate permitting and the development of critical U.S. infrastructure projects and to provide solutions for U.S. national security.
RML’s Golden Gate Project was added to the FAST-41 Transparency Dashboard in response to President Trump’s Executive Order on Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production¹, to reduce reliance on foreign adversaries for the supply of critical minerals, especially during times of war.
RML has been working closely with key Federal agencies and Administration leadership, including the Permitting Council, which has reviewed RML’s U.S. assets and has recognised their strategic importance to addressing the United States’ critical metals supply deficit and lack of domestic production.
With RML’s Antimony Ridge Project receiving FAST-41 Transparency status in April 2026, both of the Company’s primary development targets at the Horse Heaven Project, Antimony Ridge and Golden Gate, have been prioritised by the U.S. Government for streamlined permitting.
The Golden Gate and Antimony Ridge targets are within RML’s 15,000-acre Horse Heaven Tungsten-Antimony-Gold Project located in Idaho, USA, directly adjacent to Perpetua Resources’ recently permitted ~A$3.5 billion Stibnite Gold Project.
A Plan of Operations for Golden Gate has been submitted to, and accepted by, the US Forest Service for an exploration and development program that will include construction of new roads between Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South and allow up to 340 drill holes and 2,000 feet of trenching.
The Golden Gate Project includes the past-producing Golden Gate Tungsten Mine, which operated intermittently between the period from approximately 1952 to 1980, with reported tungsten production grades ranging between 1.5% and 2.0%.
The combination of Golden Gate and Antimony Ridge positions Resolution to pursue an integrated critical metals development pathway spanning exploration, metallurgy, and potential downstream processing in a tier-one U.S. jurisdiction.
FAST-41 status is expected to fast-track permitting, enhance investor visibility and support engagement with potential strategic partners and funding sources aligned with the U.S. critical minerals policy.
FAST-41 status bodes extremely well for the Company’s upcoming NASDAQ listing.

Resolution Minerals Ltd (ASX: RML; OTCQB: RLMLF) (“Resolution” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Golden Gate Project in Idaho, USA has been selected for inclusion in the U.S. Federal FAST-41 Permitting Transparency Program.

FAST-41 designation is expected to accelerate permitting timelines through enhanced inter-agency coordination, transparent milestone tracking and dedicated federal oversight. The Program provides Resolution with a clear pathway to advance its proposed bulk sampling and drilling activities at Antimony Ridge, a high-grade, past producing antimony project, located within the Company’s 100% owned Horse Heaven Project.

Importantly, FAST-41 selection supports Resolution’s broader strategy to develop a U.S.-focused critical mineral platform. Golden Gate is one of several advancing components within Horse Heaven Project, which also includes:

A recently acquired processing mill and infrastructure known as the Johnson Creek Tungsten Mill.
Historical tungsten stockpiles located adjacent to the Golden Gate Tungsten Mine portal and at the Johnson Creek Mill with potential near-term development optionality.
A fully funded, ongoing Phase 2 drilling program at Golden Gate, comprising up to 45 holes targeting resource definition.

Together, these assets position Resolution to pursue an integrated development pathway spanning exploration, metallurgy and potential downstream processing of antimony, tungsten, and gold in a tier-one U.S. jurisdiction.

Golden Gate is located immediately adjacent to Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite Gold Project, highlighting the region’s growing importance as a strategic hub for U.S. critical minerals. With the United States seeking to secure domestic supply of key metals such as antimony, Resolution is well placed to contribute to supply chain resilience while advancing multiple near-term development catalysts.

The inclusion of Golden Gate in the FAST-41 program follows closely on the designation of RML’s Antimony Ridge Project as a FAST-41 project. It is the intention of the US Forest Service to permit both the Antimony Ridge Plan of Operation and the Golden Gate Plan of Operation under one NEPA process, helping to streamline ongoing permitting at both projects.

Craig Lindsay, Resolution’s CEO – US Operations, commented:

“We are very pleased that Golden Gate has been selected for FAST-41 Transparency Coverage. We now have two separate development targets within the Horse Heaven Project under the FAST-41 program. Interestingly, I am not aware of any other critical metals company with two FAST-41 projects, which I believe is a mark of the potential importance of Horse Heaven in the US achieving its goal of developing domestic supplies of both antimony and tungsten.

Golden Gate represents a key piece of Resolution’s broader strategy to develop a U.S.-based critical minerals platform. With exploration, processing infrastructure and multiple development pathways now coming together at Horse Heaven, we believe the Company is uniquely positioned to capitalise on strong demand for antimony, tungsten and gold.”

FAST-41 Projects and the Permitting Council

The Washington, DC-based Permitting Council was established by Congress in 2015 under Title 41 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST-41) to improve the efficiency, transparency and accountability of the federal permitting process.

The Council coordinates environmental reviews and authorisations across multiple federal agencies, acting as a central project manager across for qualifying projects. FAST-41 projects benefit from structured inter-agency coordination, defined permitting timelines and public tracking via the Federal Permitting Dashboard.

The Permitting Council is comprised of the Executive Director (Chair), and 15 other members, including the Deputy Secretary (or equivalent) from 13 Federal agencies, the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Office of the Executive Director (OED) executes on the actions of the Council, and Permitting Council statutory authorities, programs, and initiatives. The Office of the Executive Director coordinates federal environmental reviews and authorisations for projects that qualify for FAST-41 coverage, which are in turn entitled to public permitting timetables and transparent, collaborative management of those timetables on the Federal Permitting Dashboard.

More information on the Permitting Council and FAST-41 can be found at www.permitting.gov.

Next Steps

Resolution will work closely with its primary permitting authority, the US. Forest Service, to advance the Golden Gate Plan of Operations through the FAST-41 process.

Following approval, the Company intends to commence a significant drill campaign intended to both increase the drill coverage of the Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South targets and confirm whether the gold and tungsten mineralization is linked geologically (the area between North and South have never been drilled, but RML has developed a geologic model that suggests the potential for both targets to be one large contiguous body of mineralisation).

On a parallel basis, RML is continuing to implement its ongoing 13,700 metre (45,000 foot) drill program at Golden Gate, with 22 holes currently completed and initial results for the first several holes expected by the end of July.

Release – Kuya Silver Reports Q2, 2026 Financial Results – Advances Bethania Mine Development and Drilling Program

Posted on August 17, 2026August 17, 2026 by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on KUYAF

Kuya Silver to hold a conference call webinar on August 17, 2026 to discuss Q2 2026 financial results

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – August 17, 2026) – Kuya Silver Corporation (CSE: KUYA) (OTCQB: KUYAF) (FSE: 6MR1) (the “Company” or “Kuya Silver”) is pleased to announce financial and operating results for the six months ending June 30, 2026.

The Company maintained a strong cash position of $25.5 million as at June 30, 2026, providing a solid financial foundation to support its exploration program, mine development initiatives including the construction of the new ramp required to support Bethania’s Phase 1 ramp-up to 350 tonnes per day.

The Company’s revenue increased significantly to $2.7 million during the first six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.3 million in the comparable period of 2025, reflecting increased silver production from the Bethania operation in addition to the positive effect higher silver prices. Revenue for the quarter was $1.25 million.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures were $1.0 million during the first six months of 2026, compared to $1.3 million in the comparable period of 2025. Expenditures at Bethania remained broadly consistent year over year, while expenditures at Silver Kings decreased as the Company continues to evaluate low-cost opportunities to unlock the project’s potential. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to increase during the second half of 2026 as the expanded drilling program commences and Bethania advances critical infrastructure development and ramp-up activities.

The Company recorded a net loss of $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.35 million in the same period of 2025. The larger net loss primarily reflects expenses related to significantly greater activity levels at Bethania associated with the ramp-up, together with increased administrative expenses as the Company continues to build the organizational structure and capabilities required to support its growing operations. The increase was partially offset by higher revenue from Bethania and lower exploration and evaluation expenditures.

PDF VersionEngine selected as a second-source propulsion system for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), advancing the program to deliver small, low-cost, high-performance engines for missiles and uncrewed platforms

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS), a Technology Company in the Defense, National Security and Global Markets, and GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) today announced that the GEK800 engine, which received the U.S. Military Engine Type Designation F143-ZZ-100, has been awarded a contract with the United States Air Force for the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) of the turbofan as a second-source propulsion system for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM).

The designation and contract mark advancement of the program designed to provide small, low-cost, high-performance engines for use in cruise missiles, collaborative combat-type aircraft, and other uncrewed aerial vehicles.

“The F143-ZZ-100 designation and EMD award are a testament to the strong performance and capability of the GEK800 engine and the strength of our partnership with Kratos. This reflects years of disciplined engineering to deliver propulsion systems that meet the evolving, mission-critical requirements of our military customers,” said Amy Gowder, President and CEO of GE Aerospace Defense & Systems.

“Kratos has been working with our outstanding partner GE Aerospace and the United States Air Force to support the Department of War in reindustrializing U.S. manufacturing capacity and capability in the area of low cost, rapidly manufacturable, in large quantities, jet engines for drones, cruise missiles and other systems. Kratos and GE Aerospace are making significant investments with our government partners, to support U.S. National Security priorities,” said Eric DeMarco, President and CEO of Kratos.

The GEK800, now designated the F143, is an 800-lb thrust turbofan engine designed to power long-range missiles and other uncrewed applications. With a combination of internal investment plus support and funding from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Kratos and GE Aerospace began working together in 2023 to complete a Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase including testing of the engine. The joint team has completed more than 50 engine starts in ground testing at Kratos and GE Aerospace testing facilities, and in 2025 successfully completed altitude testing at Purdue University’s Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories.

Xcel Brands (XELB) – Commercialization Advances: Building Toward a Second-Half Revenue Inflection

Q2 results were softer than expected, largely due to timing. Revenue was approximately $1.1 million, compared with $1.3 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the Judith Ripka divestiture and delays associated with QVC’s bankruptcy and vendor-credit issues. Importantly, the QVC-related disruptions appear to have largely been resolved.

Commercialization remains the key story as the creator portfolio moves into the market. With the portfolio’s social media reach having expanded from roughly 5 million to more than 46 million followers, we believe the company has assembled a compelling audience from which to build consumer brands. The next several quarters should provide evidence regarding Xcel’s ability to convert that audience into sustainable royalty revenue.

Euroseas (ESEA) – Second Quarter 2026 Review and Outlook

Posted on August 17, 2026August 17, 2026 by [email protected]

Monday, August 17, 2026

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Second Quarter Financial Results. Euroseas Ltd. reported solid second quarter 2026 financial performance supported by elevated charter rates, high fleet utilization, and disciplined cost management. While net revenues declined modestly to $56.5 million compared to $57.2 million in the prior year period due to a smaller average fleet size, adj. EBITDA increased to $40.1 million compared to $39.3 million during the second quarter of 2025, and adj. earnings per share increased to $4.70 from $4.20. We had projected net revenue of $56.5 million and adj. EBITDA of $40.1 million.

Outlook Remains Constructive. In our view, the near-term outlook remains positive, supported by strong charter rates, tight vessel availability in the feeder and intermediate segments of the containership market, and significant charter coverage through 2027. While market conditions could moderate as the supply of vessels increases and Red Sea routes potentially normalize, we think the feeder and intermediate segments are relatively well positioned versus larger vessel classes. Euroseas’ strong charter coverage of 96.0% in 2026, 81.3% in 2027, and 46.8% in 2028 is expected to insulate the company from any volatility in the market.
