The highest-rated micro-cap stocks based on our model are OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (OPHC, score: 60.9), SURO CAPITAL CORP. (SSSS, score: 60.2), Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (SHIP, score: 59.5). These stocks lead the micro-cap stocks segment across our six quantitative factors.
We currently rank 100 micro-cap stocks with market capitalizations between $0 and $300M. Each stock is scored on quality, value, momentum, investment, stability, and short interest.
The average composite score across all micro-cap stocks is 52.4/100. This gives you a benchmark: stocks scoring above this average are relatively stronger within the segment, while those below may face headwinds.
Our micro-cap stocks rankings update daily using the latest market data, price information, and quarterly financial filings. Factor scores recalculate automatically as new data becomes available.
Micro-cap stocks are the smallest publicly traded companies, with market capitalizations under $300 million. They are often underfollowed by Wall Street analysts, which can create pricing inefficiencies that data-driven investors can exploit. However, their small size means higher risk and lower liquidity.
Micro-cap stocks can be rewarding for investors who understand and accept the elevated risks. The lack of analyst coverage means prices may not fully reflect fundamentals, creating opportunities for those who do the research. However, micro-caps are not suitable for all investors — they can be illiquid, volatile, and more susceptible to manipulation. Our quantitative model helps filter for quality micro-caps.
Our model screens micro-cap stocks using the same six factors applied to larger companies: quality (profitability), value (cheapness), momentum (price trends), investment (capital allocation), low volatility (financial health), and short interest (bearish positioning). This systematic approach helps identify micro-caps with strong fundamentals and favorable risk/reward profiles.
