Riverwater Partners, an investment management company, released its “Micro Opportunities Strategy” Q2 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter is available to download here. In Q2 2026, the Micro Opportunities strategy underperformed the Russell Microcap Index, despite a positive absolute result. The benchmark performed well during a speculative period for micro caps. Over the past twelve months, the strategy has lagged behind the index. Industrials was the best-performing sector while Information Technology lagged. An accelerating artificial intelligence buildout and a persistent geopolitical supply shock drove the market in the quarter. While the micro-cap rally exhibited speculative traits with significant returns in areas avoided by design. The Fund’s focus remains on owning profitable, well-managed small businesses at reasonable prices rather than pursuing fleeting market trends.

“Uranium Royalty Corp. (NASDAQ:UROY) sold off with the other material names. There was no fundamental news that should have caused the decline. They diversified their royalty base to include commodities outside of uranium, which should make the business model more stable over the long term. Other uranium stocks have also done poorly even though uranium spot prices have been stable.”
