Small-cap stocks are public companies that have market caps ranging from $300-M to 2-B. Since the share prices of these companies can be very volatile, some companies in the small-cap universe, or in small-cap indexes, can have market caps significantly higher than this range at any particular time.
Some of the stocks classified as small caps are movie theater chain AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (AMC), printing, imaging company Eastman Kodak Co. (KODK), and retail drug store chain Rite Aid Corp. (RAD)
Small-cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000 Index (RUT), have outperformed the broader market, providing investors with a total return of 49.2% compared to the Russell 1000’s total return of 39.4% over the past 12 months.
These market performance numbers and the statistics in the tables below are as of 27 July 2021.
These are the small-cap stocks with the lowest 12-month trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. Because profits can be returned to shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks, a low P/E ratio shows investors pay less for each USD of profit generated.
