Small-cap and micro-cap stock investors know that bigger isn’t always better. This is one truth that’s agreed upon. But, markets (stocks, commodities, real estate, etc.) trade on buyers and sellers not agreeing. That is, one party deciding a particular price makes something worth selling, while another thinks it’s worth buying. These, of course, aren’t the only reasons people buy or sell. There are also investors that are creating or adding to a position they want to hold as a long-term investment, while at the same time, short-term investors or day-traders may be getting out of a position because it has already met, or no longer meets their trading criteria. The buying and selling, for whatever the goal, creates volume which adds to the ability to trade at a “fair” price.
Companies listed in the S&P 500 and other large corporations never seem to have a shortage of buyers and sellers. If an investor or trader is looking to execute shares in the index, they would expect them to be readily tradable. Buying or selling shares of smaller companies is often more challenging. Many small and micro-cap corporations don’t yet have the luxury of being as well recognized or as broadly traded. This can mean significant opportunity for investors who dig through research, learn about companies, then capitalize on inefficiencies that cause stocks to be unrecognized or improperly valued.
Recognition from analysts, the media, or Wall Street help to build knowledge of companies. This understanding leads to more efficient bid and offers in their shares. With that in mind, below are one-year charts of companies represented on Channelchek that are gaining more recognition. These YoY performance charts were chosen from 2019 to highlight companies that had relatively low volatility, while at the same time added shareholder value. As suggested earlier, some investors hold for many years, while others trade out of a position in minutes. One year’s overall trend isn’t the only yardstick worth reviewing. This is why the Channelchek platform allows you to set your own search criteria on almost 6,000 companies.
