Small Cap AI Stocks Portfolio Jumped 18% In May

 

The artificial intelligence and related (AI&R) sector is going to play a major role in the future of technology and investing in it should generate fantastic returns over the next decade. That being said, however, most investors focus on the mega/large cap AI & related (AI&R) stocks that trade for hundreds of dollars per share yet there are a few less expensive, and potentially more explosive, micro- and small-;  cap AI&R stocks (i.e., stocks with market capitalizations above $100M but less than $2B) that will get you wider exposure to that growth with less money invested.

Which have the greatest prospects of outperforming the sector in the coming months and years? Well, it all comes down to playing it smart and doing your research and, to help you with that, we present below our munKNEE Small AI Stocks Portfolio consisting of 10 small cap AI&R stocks (average market capitalization of $452M; includes 3 microccap under $250M) presented in descending order for the month, their individual market capitalizations and recent news, analysis and commentary where appropriate.
