New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: UK£7.48m (US$9.42m) This is considered a major risk.

Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook.
