In a week marked by declines across most major stock indexes, the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite managed to hit a record high, while small-cap stocks underperformed against their larger counterparts. As markets brace for potential rate cuts from the Federal Reserve amid cooling labor market indicators and stalled inflation progress, investors may find opportunities in lesser-known stocks that exhibit resilience and growth potential in such volatile environments. Identifying these "undiscovered gems" often involves looking for companies with strong fundamentals that can thrive despite broader economic uncertainties.
