11 High Growth Micro-cap Stocks to Buy

Page 1 of 10

In this article, we will discuss 11 High Growth Micro-cap Stocks to Buy.

Investing in stocks of companies with market values under $300 million, otherwise known as micro-cap stocks, offers a unique opportunity to get in early on fast-growing businesses. These smaller companies often fly under the radar, which means that fewer analysts cover them and institutional investors pay less attention, creating opportunities for savvy investors to uncover hidden gems. While they carry higher volatility and sometimes lower liquidity than larger stocks, micro-caps can deliver impressive long-term growth and potentially higher returns compared to big companies.

One of the biggest advantages of micro-cap investing is growth potential. Many of these companies are still in the early stages of expansion, giving investors a chance to benefit if they become leaders in their industries. Micro-caps also provide portfolio diversification, as they often operate in niche sectors that don’t move in sync with large-cap stocks. This can help reduce overall risk and make your investments more balanced.

Another benefit is accessibility. Investors can often engage more directly with company leadership, gaining insight into operations and strategic plans. Many micro-cap companies also have high insider ownership, meaning the people running the business have a personal stake in its success—a strong alignment with shareholder interests.

However, micro-cap stocks can experience sharp price swings, trades can be harder to execute without moving the market, and transaction costs can be higher. But for investors willing to be patient and think long term, micro-caps offer a compelling way to participate in exciting industries, discover tomorrow’s market leaders, and potentially achieve strong, risk-adjusted returns.

With this context in mind, here is a list of 11 high growth micro-cap stocks to buy.

11 High Growth Micro-cap Stocks to Buy

11. Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:PINE)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 7

Market Capitalization: $256.03 million

5-year Revenue Growth: 31.06%

On February 5, B. Riley raised its price target on Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:PINE) to $21 from $19 while reiterating a Buy rating, pointing to the REIT’s expanding exposure to higher-yielding structured loan investments as a key driver of upside. According to the firm, Alpine’s ability to deploy capital at yields well above those typically available in the net lease space meaningfully improves its earnings profile and positions the company for strong AFFO per share growth in 2026.

That thesis is supported by Alpine’s recent operating performance and capital allocation strategy. During its third-quarter earnings call, the company highlighted continued disciplined growth across both property acquisitions and lending activity. Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:PINE) acquired properties ground-leased to Lowe’s for $21.1 million at a 6.0% cap rate, underscoring the quality and durability of its tenant base. Year to date, total property acquisition volume reached $60.8 million at an attractive weighted-average cap rate of 7.7%, reflecting management’s focus on acquiring essential-use assets at compelling valuations.

Moreover, Alpine continues to differentiate itself through its structured loan platform. During the quarter, the REIT originated $28.6 million in loans at a weighted-average yield of 10.6%, significantly enhancing portfolio returns while maintaining a conservative risk profile. This blend of stable net lease income and higher-yielding credit investments provides a diversified and flexible earnings engine, particularly valuable in a higher-for-longer rate environment.

Importantly for income-focused investors, Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:PINE) declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.285 per share, representing an annualized yield of approximately 8.25%. The dividend remains well covered, with an AFFO payout ratio of just 62%, leaving room for reinvestment and future growth.

Headquartered in Winter Park, Florida, Alpine focuses on single-tenant commercial properties leased to high-quality tenants across essential retail, distribution, and industrial sectors. With disciplined capital deployment, improving yield mix, and a secure dividend, Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:PINE) appears well-positioned to deliver attractive total returns as earnings momentum builds into 2026.

10. Seven Hills Realty Trust (NASDAQ:SEVN)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 3

Market Capitalization: $197.74 million

5-year Revenue Growth: 32.95%

On January 7, Ladenburg initiated coverage of Seven Hills Realty Trust (NASDAQ:SEVN) with a Buy rating and a $10 price target, highlighting improving forward visibility following recent balance sheet actions and portfolio growth initiatives. The initiation comes after a volatile period for the stock, during which shares declined sharply despite management executing on previously outlined strategic objectives.

A key catalyst underpinning the investment thesis is Seven Hills’ fully backstopped transferable rights offering completed on December 11, 2025, which raised $65.2 million in gross proceeds at $8.65 per share. The capital raise was designed to fund portfolio expansion and was quickly deployed into income-generating assets, including three floating-rate first mortgage loans totaling $101.3 million, reflecting disciplined underwriting across diversified commercial real estate asset types. The timely deployment of capital mitigates dilution concerns and positions the REIT to rebuild earnings momentum in the new loan season.

Operationally, Seven Hills Realty Trust (NASDAQ:SEVN) reported softer third-quarter 2025 results, with distributable income of $0.29 per share on $7.1 million in revenue, reflecting pressure from lower net interest margins ahead of the capital raise. However, management reaffirmed confidence in near-term stabilization by closing on the anticipated new investments and guiding to fourth-quarter distributable income of approximately $0.30 per share, sufficient to cover the $0.28 quarterly distribution. Despite the stock’s pullback to multi-year lows in early December, the combination of refreshed capital, portfolio expansion, and improving income coverage supports a more constructive outlook.

Based in Newton, Massachusetts, Seven Hills Realty Trust (NASDAQ:SEVN) focuses on floating-rate first mortgage loans secured by middle-market transitional commercial real estate, a niche that can benefit meaningfully as deployment scales and rate dynamics stabilize, making the recent weakness an opportunity for long-term, income-focused investors.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:
