Clinical-stage biotech names, micro-cap stocks, and junior gold mining companies are among the firms that may entice investors looking to make such a wager.

IWC: Most Signs Point To Micro-Cap Gains, But Not All

I maintain a "Buy" rating on the iShares Micro-Cap ETF, which has returned 27% YTD, outperforming SPY and IWM. IWC benefits from strong momentum, an attractive 11.6x P/E valuation, and leadership in Healthcare and Financials, with a notable 50% small-cap value tilt. Technical indicators are bullish: higher highs/lows, rising 200 DMA, and robust RSI, though near-term seasonality is unfavorable.

Small Caps Challenge Momentum Factor's Throne

The momentum risk factor has been leading the field in recent history, but there are signs that a rotation may be underway, based on a set of ETFs through yesterday's close (July 20). After a long run of relatively weak small-cap results, the recent strength for these shares raises the possibility that a leadership rotation may be developing.

CIO Weekly: SpaceX-Led IPO Boom Forces Governance Into Focus

The $85 billion listing last month of SpaceX, Elon Musk's aerospace, satellite communications and artificial intelligence company, was an important market event. The company's dual-class share structure, conferring disproportionate voting power on its founder, could be expected to serve as a template for the next wave of high-profile IPOs, with OpenAI and Anthropic expected to follow suit in the coming quarters.

IWC: The Smallest Of The Smallcaps Is Making A Big Move. Its Part Of My 10-ETF Portfolio

I rate iShares Micro-Cap ETF (IWC) a buy, viewing it as a high-conviction, tactical role player in my 10-ETF ROAR model portfolio. IWC targets the smallest, often overlooked U.S. equities, offering unique alpha potential and low correlation with large-cap dominated indices. With 1,300 holdings and a 25x trailing P/E, IWC is positioned for outsized returns during speculative market phases, but carries liquidity and volatility risks.

Russell U.S. Indexes Spotlight - Quarterly Report: April 2026

The Middle East crisis led to a broad selloff in Russell equity segments in March halting the year-long rally. 12M forward P/Es derated broadly but more so for Russell 1000, Top 200 and the large- and small-cap Growth indices partly due to their heavy Tech exposure and valuation expansion over the last three years.
