The underrated rockstars of Wall Street, waiting for their breakout moment. And it seems like the stage is being set for them to shine.  I wouldn't be surprised if we see some spectacular performances from this group soon, given how they've been left out in the cold for some time now.  Here, I've got a quintet of stocks under $5-per-share that could be worth the spotlight. But before we dive into the deep end, let's talk about why the small-caps are starting to look like the life of the party.  Right now, it feels like we're witnessing the birth of a new bull market for small-company stocks.  After the S&P 500 has picked itself up by more than 20% from a market nadir (just like the situation we're in), it usually struts its stuff upward 92% of the time over the subsequent year — that's an average of 19% returns, as Savita Subramanian, the wise owl heading U.S. equity strategy & U.S. quantitative strategy at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, notes.  As more and more investors start to groove to this tune and start feeling the good vibes, they'll likely switch to the more adventurous asset classes like small-caps.  In the meantime, U.S. interest rates are finding their footing. The era of near-zero real rates hasn't exactly been a party for small-caps. Low rates have been serenading "long-duration" assets like tech and biotech stocks, whose earnings payoffs are distant dreams.  Low discount rates in valuation models have been making these long-duration assets seem like a bargain. But the tides are turning, and small-caps are expected to get a piece of the action, according to James Stoeffel, a savvy custodian of the Royce Small-Cap Opportunity Fund.  Looking back at the Great Financial Crisis, both large-caps and small-caps took quite a tumble, but they dusted themselves off with similar gusto. However, last year, small-caps slipped more than their large-cap counterparts.  The surprise here is that despite this, small-caps remain comparatively undervalued. Now, who doesn't love a good deal, especially if there's a strong chance of a considerable upside?  While the timing of a sector's rise remains a mystery, history tells us the deeper the discount, the heftier the potential gains once the sector hits its stride.  During my three-decade long tryst with the U.S. markets, I've seen investors develop a certain fondness for sub-$5 stocks when the market is in high spirits.  It's understandable; these stocks can churn out massive percentage gains faster than you can say "bull market". Many of these low-priced stocks are the dark horses waiting for their comeback, and when you spot one that's making the right moves, the rewards can be eye-popping.  Moreover, many sub-$5 stocks are like hidden treasures, often overlooked by Wall Street. Positive developments in these stocks often fly under the radar, making them potential goldmines for savvy investors.  However, if you find yourself smitten by the sub-$5 charm, remember: these stocks are not for the faint-hearted. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.  Take, for example, the Royce Small-Cap Opportunity, which spreads its bets across about 250 stocks with the median position being just 0.37% of the portfolio. A wise Stoeffel advises a healthy level of diversification.  So, here are five under-$5 stocks handpicked by the fund managers who lent their insights earlier. Tread lightly and steer clear of these stocks if they race past the limit price. Remember, they can bounce around more than a pogo stick, so avoid getting caught up in a sudden spike.  The first name on our list is MamaMancini’s Holdings. Originating from the traditional Italian recipes of Anna “Mama” Mancini, the company has come a long way, offering over 50 all-natural food lines to grocery stores and distributors.  It's had its fair share of hiccups over the past two years, owing to supply chain issues and inflation, but it's pulled up its socks and tackled the problems head-on.  Next up, we have DHI Group, a company that thrives in a tight job market, particularly in tech and jobs requiring government security clearances. With projected tech-worker shortages, this could be DHI's time to shine.  Quantum Corp, our third pick, offers data storage and management products. This positions it as a potential benefactor of the rising trends in AI, machine learning, and data analytics.  Heritage Global, a liquidator, is our fourth pick. It takes the lemons handed to it by economic downturns and turns them into lemonade by reselling unwanted equipment, real estate, and inventory from companies that are downsizing or folding.  Lastly, we have Ribbon Communications, a provider of communications equipment. It's gradually gaining traction with customers, thanks to the growing demand for bandwidth and bans on Huawei Technologies equipment.  So, there you go. An exciting array of small-cap stocks for your consideration. Remember, they can be risky, but with risk comes reward.  The choice is yours.  Keep on keeping up!  John @ Traders on Trend  (In the next article: Does the stock sale frenzy suggest a promising US IPO landscape and a resurgence in the IPO market?

[Privacy Policy/Disclosures]( Check the Free Presentation Today ☝ SPONSORED Resurgence in IPO Market: Stock Sale Frenzy Points to Promising US IPO Landscape  It appears that the autumn breeze this year could bring along a shower of initial public offerings (IPOs), potentially sweeping away the rather slow IPO momentum we've been seeing for the past year and a half.  Now, this isn't a wild guess from a fortune cookie; there's a method to the madness. Since April's end, we've seen publicly listed companies and their private equity patrons dish out more than $28 billion in stocks in the U.S. via secondary and follow-on sales.  If you're reaching for a calculator, let me save you the trouble – that's a staggering increase from the $7.3 billion we saw during the same period last year, according to our friends at LSEG Deals Intelligence.  Alright, but what does this mean for our IPO market? Well, it's almost like a hot cup of cocoa on a cold day. Let's just say both IPOs and secondary stock sales need that shared warmth of robust demand from equity investors. It's kind of like a tango dance, it takes two to make it work.  As per Daniel Burton-Morgan, the wise man leading Americas syndicate for equity capital markets at Bank of America Corp, an increase in follow-on activity of this sort could very well turn on the IPO switch. Call it an awakening of the 'animal spirits' if you will, but things are looking promising for the IPO scene.  Our IPO market has been pretty much in hibernation since the dawn of 2022, courtesy of Russia's Ukraine invasion and the sudden inflation surge, which caused market volatility as investors played the worry-wart over U.S. interest rate hikes.  This resulted in a rather hefty 65% decrease in the IPOs raised globally in 2022, if we sideline the special purpose acquisition vehicles. The year prior was a record breaker, with IPOs hitting the roof at $154 billion.  With predictions hinting towards a curtain call for Federal Reserve rate hikes later this year, the market volatility appears to be taking a nap.  (article continues below) Sponsored [How He Bagged One Of The Top Trading Records…]( A reclusive millionaire has been quietly racking up winning trade after winning trade.

Chipmaker Arm Holdings, owned by SoftBank Group Corp, and data and marketing automation firm Klaviyo are ready to take center stage, provided the market conditions hit the right notes.  Just last week, the Mediterranean restaurant chain Cava Group took the IPO leap and boy did it land on its feet! Since going public at a $2.45 billion valuation, the company's shares have at one point doubled in value. Talk about a standing ovation!  This performance could set the stage for other companies in the consumer and other sectors, opines Alex Wellins, co-founder and managing partner of capital markets advisory firm Blueshirt Group.  Keith Townsend, a capital markets attorney at law firm King & Spalding, echoes this sentiment, highlighting the confidence boost that Cava's IPO success could provide to others eyeing the market.  In a nutshell, it seems like the stage is set for a potential IPO boom come September. But hey, like all good things, it's subject to the whims of the market.
