Five 2026 Small-Cap Stocks No One Is Talking About (Yet) Hosted by Bridget BennettDecember 21, 2025 ShareLink copied to clipboard. Play video for Five 2026 Small-Cap Stocks No One Is Talking About (Yet)DetailsGuestsSmall-cap stocks could be one of the biggest stories of 2026 — and most investors aren’t paying attention yet. In this video, Bridget sits down with MarketBeat analyst Chris Markoch to break down five small-cap stocks flying under the radar that could benefit from sector rotation, improving earnings growth, and renewed investor interest in the Russell 2000. Using MarketBeat’s stock screener, Chris narrowed this list to small-cap names with strong analyst sentiment and at least 10% projected earnings growth next year. These stocks span multiple industries — from infrastructure and semiconductors to water solutions, security technology, and consumer brands — and many are coming off a rough 2025, which could be exactly where the opportunity lies.Stocks Mentioned in This EpisodeCompanyMarketRank™Current PriceDividend YieldP/E RatioGRCGorman-Rupp2.9449 of 5 stars$89.33+0.1%0.85%40.06UCTTUltra Clean2.7114 of 5 stars$118.82N/AN/AWTTRSelect Water Solutions4.7787 of 5 stars$19.61-0.3%1.43%93.37EVLVEvolv Technologies2.8915 of 5 stars$5.45+0.1%N/AN/AWWWWolverine World Wide4.3641 of 5 stars$17.13-0.1%2.34%13.81 Compare These Stocks Add These Stocks to My Watchlist Bridget Bennett, HostDigital Media Producer, MarketBeatAlways the talker, Bridget Bennett turned her passion for people and sharing stories into a career in communications.

You may find his writing a little different than other stock articles you’ve read. And that’s OK with him. Chris doesn’t have a traditional finance background. What he does bring to the table is a strong business and marketing background having worked for agencies that serviced Fortune 500 companies. With that in mind, he isn’t overly impressed with what companies say, and more focused on what they do. And because buyer behavior dictates so much of what happens with a stock, Chris always keeps the end consumer close in mind.
