Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds, and ETFs and how it impacts your life.

This week, Tracey is joined by Mark Zinski, Zacks Senior Microcap Analyst, to talk about investing in small cap AI revolution stocks.

Are there any publicly traded small cap companies in the AI industry?

Should investors be seeking out small caps in this space or sticking with the large cap companies?

What are the risks, and rewards, of investing in the small cap AI stocks?

How Do You Find Small Cap AI Stocks?

The chip companies are mostly large caps but even if you look outside of the chips to the companies building and cooling the data centers, they are mostly mid and large cap companies.

However, there exists at least 2 small cap companies that are in the AI trade. The way to find these companies, and more like them, is by deploying the Zacks Rank.

Top Zacks Ranked stocks normally see rising earnings estimates. If a small cap company has at least one analyst on it, it may have a top Zacks Rank. Historically, the Zacks Rank has been a useful tool for finding small cap hidden gems.

Additionally, research firms like Zacks may be doing independent research reports on some of these small cap companies.

Mark has the inside scoop on the small cap world. Here are two stocks he says to watch.
