Off the Radar, ep. 1: Stocks You Have Probably Never Heard Of (But Should Know)
A new series to surface hidden gems and future leaders
Let’s be honest, most stock talk revolves around the same handful of tickers. Nvidia, Apple, Tesla... you know the drill. Great companies for sure. But sometimes, the magic is happening where nobody’s looking.
I already write a lot about lesser-known stocks. But I decided to begin a new series “Off the Radar”. Every so often, I dig into the depths of the market to uncover lesser-known companies quietly doing impressive things: growing revenues, disrupting industries, or building moats while staying out of the spotlight. No hype, no meme stock madness. Just real businesses flying under the radar… for now.
Please note that I don’t necessarily invest in those names, but it is interesting to regularly screen the stock market for potential opportunities. Rest assured, my main rule still stands: quality stocks only!
Some of these names might surprise you. Others might make you say, “Wait, how have I never heard of this?” Either way, they are worth a look.
