Weekend sampler: 3 micro-cap stocks to watch
With the TSX up by 5.7 per cent over the past month, just shy of its all-time-high, driven by a rebound in the price of oil, and the S&P 500 following suit, up by 6.8 per cent, emboldened by strong U.S. jobs data, investors are growing increasingly immune to Trump's tariff bluster. They're realizing that he's but one among many short-term headwinds, along with wars, recessions and a diversity of cultural conflicts, which stocks have proven more than capable of overcoming on their way to delivering attractive long-term returns. While financial media has a vested interest in making you worry about next quarter's earnings or the effects of a single central bank interest rate decision, fundamentals and value will always prevail in the end. This means it's always the right time to consider stocks with the potential to reward patient investors, grounded in the understanding that short-term volatility is the price of long-term gains. To this end, as you kick your feet up and kick off the well-deserved weekend, here are three fundamentally attractive micro-cap stocks for your perusing pleasure, each of them worth a deep dive towards a potential investment thanks to positive earnings per share year-over-year and evidence for keeping the profits flowing into the future. BQE Water Our first micro-cap stock pick, BQE Water (TSXV:BQE), market cap C$65.93 million, last trading at C$51 per share, specializes in water treatment and management for the mining, smelting and refining markets. Although the stock has added 363 per cent since 2020, supported by more than 100 per cent revenue and net income growth – including a strong Q1 2025 – it's down by 20 per cent year-over-year, likely discounting numerous projects near completion expected to drive growth through year-end. Olympia Financial Group Our second micro-cap stock pick, Olympia Financial (TSX:OLY), market cap C$266.57 million, last trading at C$110.78, administers self-directed registered plan accounts, corporate trusts, transfer agency services, currency exchange, global payments, private health plans and information technology services in the Canadian market. The company more than doubled revenue from C$48.62 million in 2020 to C$102.92 million in 2024, while tripling net income over the period from C$7.99 million to C$23.92 million, respectively, following this up with a steady Q1 2025 marked by a growing client base. Under the care of a long-tenured management team with 34-per-cent insider ownership, Olympia is in the midst of a multi-pronged growth plan (slide 25) to expand its established position in private markets, granting investors a data-driven thesis for meaningful gains, despite the stock adding 184 per cent since 2020. ADF Group Our final micro-cap stock to watch, ADF Group (TSX:DRX), market cap C$188.29 million, last trading at C$6.70, is a top designer and engineer of steel structures for the North American non-residential infrastructure sector. The company's over 65-year track record includes infrastructure projects spanning airports, stadiums, factories and office towers, with a current capacity to manufacture 125,000 tons of structural steel per year. If we look at ADF's past five years, we see expanding market share justified by accelerating profits. This includes revenue growth from C$172.59 million in fiscal 2021 to C$339.63 million in fiscal 2025, proven efficient by net income growth from C$6.87 million to C$56.79 million over the period. Tariff fears have since hit the stock with steep losses to the tune of 60 per cent year-over-year – most recently hampered by an increase in U.S. steel tariffs which Canada may reciprocate – with new contracts slowing and lower expected revenue and margins through the fiscal year ending January 2026. That said, the stock remains up by more than 500 per cent since 2020 – including the year-over-year loss – thanks to management's stellar operational track record. While tariff uncertainty is peaking at the moment, the high likelihood of a reasonable resolution between Canada and the U.S., given that they're commercially tied-at-the-hip, puts the profitable ADF on a path to retracing recent losses, fueled by an over C$400 million backlog as of January 2025.
