Microcap companies make up half of all publicly traded companies on all the US exchanges, including the OTC Markets and OTCBB. Microcaps have always been under appreciated by a bulk of investors and especially the financial press. Even most professional investors I talk to don’t realize the size and scope of the microcap space or the value that can be found in it. Here are a few statistics that help illustrate this:
There are currently 18,712 publicly traded companies on all US Exchanges (including OTCM/OTCBB)
Not surprisingly, a greater proportion of microcaps are not profitable when compared to other market capitalizations…
Another way to look at it…
But you will certainly find more value in microcaps than anywhere else, of the 8,464 profitable companies…
One of the key things professional microcap investors look for are companies with good share structures…of the 2,211 profitable microcaps that exist a majority of them have less than 25m shares outstanding..
