Introduction
A micro-cap stock is a publicly traded company with a market capitalization between approximately $50 million and $300 million.
These stocks are typically found on smaller exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Micro-cap stocks can offer high growth potential but come with significant risks due to their limited resources, less regulatory oversight, and lower liquidity compared to larger companies.
They are often more volatile and can be more susceptible to market manipulation. Investors in micro-cap stocks need to conduct thorough research and be prepared for higher levels of risk and potential reward.
Definition: A micro-capitalization stock is a business worth between $50M - $300M. However, this is sometimes stretched to $500 million.
