4 Under-the-Radar Small Caps to Buy Before the Market Catches On

Market breadth is a joke; AI has hogged all capital. A violent rotation is brewing. The play is small-cap alpha driven by pure earnings momentum. Guest is long energy via tankers (TN), semi-testing (INTT), and biotech (AUPH). Macro view: GDP could surprise to 6% on productivity, but watch for seasonal weakness (Aug/Sep) and credit market tail risk. Hold big tech winners (APP, UI), but the real edge is in these overlooked growth names.

4 Under-the-Radar Small Caps to Buy Before the Market Catches On

ndx

The guest states tech stocks have hogged all money and are the leaders, but a rotation is starting. He recommends holding tech (e.g., APP, Ubiquiti) but is cautious about the narrowness and seasonal weakness in August/September. This implies a cautious upward view for the Nasdaq in the short term, with risks of rotation.

rut

The guest recommends small-cap stocks (AUPH, INTT, PHC, TN) and says small caps are better values than bigger stocks. This implies a positive view on the Russell 2000 in the short term.

Energy is hot right now because crude oil prices up. I personally love my tanker stocks.

yields

The guest says inflation may be transitory and is cooling from March to April. This suggests yields may ease in the short term as inflation fears subside, but he notes high diesel costs as a risk, so the view is cautious.

Speaker1

Introduces a chart showing that without tech stocks, you are down for the year, and notes this pattern was also shown by Tammy on Fibonacci charts.
Speaker2

Confirms the market is narrow because AI stocks have hogged all money, but a rotation is starting. Energy is hot due to crude oil prices. He loves tanker stocks.
Speaker1

Asks how home investors should prepare for a downturn, referencing gold.
Speaker2

Does not worry about downturns because he holds assets that zig when others zag (e.g., oil tanker stocks, gold stocks). Uses a computer program for optimization (high alpha, low beta, low standard deviation). Biggest risk is a flash crash or black swan in credit markets, not a correction. Hates August and first half of September due to seasonal weakness.
Speaker1

Brings up the CPI release and asks for interpretation.
Speaker2

CPI was in line, core slightly higher due to owner's equivalent rent (shelter costs), possibly a data collection issue. Energy shock is cooling. Inflation may be transitory. Biggest risk is high diesel costs. GDP could hit 6% due to productivity gains, improved trade deficit from energy exports, and robust consumer spending. Housing is a drag.
Speaker1

Introduces the first stock pick: AUPH (biotech).
Speaker2

AUPH: Sales up 14.6%, earnings up 54.7%. Strong upward analyst revisions. Wonderful earnings surprise history. Small cap, moves like a bunny, but better value.
Speaker1

Introduces the second stock pick: INTT (Intest).
Speaker2

INTT: Most excited about near term. Sales up 17.4%, earnings up 222.2%. Strong upward revisions. Wonderful earnings surprise history. Semiconductor testing company benefiting from booming semiconductor industry.
Speaker1

Introduces the third stock pick: PHC (Philbro Animal Health).
Speaker2

PHC: Sales plateaued, but earnings up 28.2% next quarter. Analysts held steady. Good short-term buy after post-earnings dip. Makes animal health products for herds.
Speaker1

Introduces the fourth stock pick: TN (Teekay Tankers / Teos Energy Navigation).
Speaker2

TN: Crude oil shipping company. Sales up 34.2%, earnings up 120.2%. Huge upward revision from 84 cents to $2.26. Wonderful earnings surprise history. Smallest cap of his four tanker stocks, so most potential to soar.
Speaker1

Asks about SNDK (SanDisk) - up 168%, what to do?
Speaker2

SanDisk is a memory stock. Favorite memory stocks are Micron and Seagate. All memory stocks doing well due to shortage. Hang on, enjoy the ride, but it will get bumpy.
Speaker1

Asks about Ubiquiti (UI) - dropped 10% on earnings, does that change thesis?
Speaker2

Ubiquiti pulled back after missing operating earnings estimates, but sales growing 14.4%. Stock will bounce back because they make data centers faster with optical connections. He was trying to buy the dip.
Speaker1

Asks about APP and Shopify - are they still buys?
Speaker2

Shopify is in the doghouse but still recommended. Earnings surprise history not consistent, but underlying sales and earnings outstanding. APP is one of the best AI appliers, holding with no intention to sell.
Speaker1

Asks about Cardinal Health (CAH).
Speaker2

Cardinal Health is fine. Sales up 8.3%, earnings up 16%. Medical equipment company, very conservative play. Hang on and enjoy the ride.
