Brian Bolan is the aggressive growth stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research and his big idea this week is small cap tech stocks . We are into the earnings season and normally that would drive all the headlines but the tariff talk and tariff tantrum have investors terrified. A few stocks have stood out to Brian, so he is highlighting them here.
First up is Unisys (UIS - Free Report) which is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and sports an A for Value and a B for Growth. The company has a market capitalization of $354M and from reading the chart we see the stock bottomed out in the $4 range. A recent earnings beat has helped the stock recover and Brian likes the growth profile here. UIS is expected to see revenue contraction this year of about 1%, but the company gets back to growth mode next year with a 4.8% topline uptick.
Next up is Semtech (SMTC - Free Report) which is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and it has a D for Value and an A for Growth. With a market capitalization of just over $3B this is a lot bigger than we are used to seeing in the Home Run Investor portfolio, but still a good candidate for inclusion. Brian highlights that this stock is expected to see the topline grow 15% this year and another 10% next year.
Finally we look at Rigetti (RGTI - Free Report) which is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) that has an F for Value and a D for Growth. This quantum computing stock is actually in the Home Run Investor portfolio and is looking to report earning after the close on Tuesday of next week (5/12). Brian believes there is a good chance this company will raise guidance at that time given the fact that a competitor, QBTS, posted $15M in revenue when only $10M was expected. That big revenue surprise led to a massive 40%+ move in the stock and lifted shares of RGTI by about 10% in the same session. If RGTI does post a good quarter and guides higher, Brian believes that a $14 stock price is not out of the question.
Finally we look Home Run Investor, a service run by Brian Bolan. Brian has been tasked with leveraging the Zacks Rank to help find the best small cap growth stocks. Home Run Investor looks for small cap growth stocks across all sectors and focuses on stocks that are seeing revenue growth and margin expansion. Be sure to check out Home Run Investor!
