I like small/micro caps, but also try to limit the risks on these companies. I wonder if combining fundamental analysis and low beta may be one way to have a good risk adjusted return on these stocks.
Based on this criteria, one sector continues to look interesting : electrification related companies. SXE, SKS, MYG and KOV have beta of respectively 0.57, 0.68, 0.35 and 0.64. While there is still a strong momentum of new orders for data centers (cf 2 orders of 20 m$+ by SKS, since the 4th of Sept). Of course, it does not mean that all these stocks are interesting, as we have also to do a detailed analysis on each of them (and apply our own valuation criteria).
