As global markets navigate the challenges of rising U.S. Treasury yields and tepid economic growth, small-cap stocks are feeling the pressure more acutely than their large-cap counterparts, with indices like the S&P 600 reflecting this strain. Despite these headwinds, opportunities remain for discerning investors to uncover lesser-known stocks that may offer potential value amidst broader market volatility. In such an environment, a good stock often exhibits strong fundamentals and resilience to macroeconomic shifts—qualities that can make it stand out as a hidden gem in today's complex financial landscape.
