Three micro-cap stocks tracking cutting-edge technology

The potential for cutting-edge technology stocks to deliver exponential returns often leads investors astray, tempting them with the glamour of ownership to such a degree that any sense of valuation goes out the window. This content has been prepared as part of a partnership with Cheelcare Inc., Corp. and Fineqia International Inc., and is intended for informational purposes only. This instinctual phenomenon, known in behavioral finance as herd mentality, can lead to unsustainable run-ups in valuation, where a company far outshoots its given technology's tailwind, well beyond what its income statements can substantiate, opening investors up to steep losses once the company fails to keep up with expectations. To avoid this outcome and populate their watchlists with an optimized candidate mix, it stands to reason that investors should keep blind belief at bay through a focus on fundamentals, grounding their exposure to cutting-edge technology in business health and long-term, high-conviction growth runways. To get your watchlist started, in the newest edition of Stockhouse's Weekly Market Movers, I'll analyze three future-facing technology companies through a fundamental lens, revealing how each makes a data-driven case for a positive investment outcome. Cheelcare Our first technology stock to consider is Cheelcare, market capitalization C$20.02 million, an Ontario-based mobility technology developer catering to people with physical disabilities. The company's award-winning product suite includes cutting-edge robotic power wheelchairs, power add-ons for manual wheelchairs, as well as advanced wheelchair accessories such as a rearview camera, each designed to meaningfully enhance how users interact with the world. Cheelcare is overseen by a management team specialized in software, medical devices, transportation, occupational therapy and capital raising, an ideal mix to keep operations aligned with client care and shareholder value in equal measure. While the company listed on the TSXV only on July 16, and has yet to release its first public quarterly results, the stock seems to have normalized around the C$1 mark, following an initial pop, making it one to watch should the company translate the meeting of unmet needs among the wheelchair bound into evidence of a path to profitability. To this end, players in the global wheelchair market stand to benefit from a hefty 7.2 per cent compound annual growth rate through this decade, reaching US$8.4 billion in value by 2030. Founder and chief executive officer (CEO), Eugene Cherny, spoke with Stockhouse's Lyndsay Malchuk about the reasoning behind going public. Watch the interview here. Cheelcare stock (TSXV:CHER) last traded at C$1.02 and has added 3.03 per cent since inception on July 16. Our next cutting-edge technology stock with tangible potential, market capitalization C$13.67 million, specializes in AI-powered 3D modeling and spatial computing, helping a growing roster of enterprise and e-commerce clients – including Amazon and Shopify – drive engagement through scalable modeling, immersive product visualization and customizable digital spatial experiences. The company recently released its financial results for the 15 months ended March 2025, showing robust evidence of being on a path to profitability, achieving: A 55 per cent increase in gross profits to C$2.24 million. Gross margin growth from 29 to 64 per cent thanks to improving unit economics and a shift towards more scalable SaaS and bundled models. A 58 per cent reduction in operating cash burn to C$5.56 million. A 56 per cent reduction in adjusted operating loss to C$6.07 million. A 55 per cent reduction in sales and marketing expense to C$2.03 million. A 41 per cent decrease in general and administrative expenses to C$4.5 million. According to Wednesday's news release, management expects this efficiency to continue gaining traction over the near term thanks to a 'cost structure aligned to support recurring revenue growth with reduced dependence on variable production models.' This cost structure, in turn, positions the company to 'drive margin-accretive growth, capture recurring revenue opportunities and create long-term value for shareholders in fiscal 2025 and beyond.' When we look farther back into Nextech's income statements, we find evidence of this plan in motion, with reductions in SG&A expenses as well as long-term debt extending back to 2021, and net income loss improving every year from C$32.65 million in 2021 to C$5.18 million in the fiscal year ended December 2024. The broader market vehemently disagrees, with stock (CSE:NTAR) having given back 15 per cent year-over-year and 98.62 per cent since 2020, last trading at C$0.085, which should be making bells and whistles go off in the heads of readers that identify as contrarian investors. Readers interested in learning more can check out Evan Gappelberg, CEO, in conversation with Lyndsay Malchuk about the company's progress at the intersection of AI, 3D modeling and e-commerce. Watch the interview here. Fineqia Our final boundary-pushing technology stock is Fineqia, market capitalization C$8.25 million, which is building a portfolio of investments and European-listed exchanged-traded products focused on blockchain and cryptocurrency, both key drivers towards a more equitable global financial system that strips power from institutions and reorients it towards the individual. Here's a breakdown: The Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield exchange-traded note (ETN) provides exposure to the ADA token, the cryptocurrency powering the Cardano blockchain network, one of the largest and most well-respected in the industry, which is known for peer-reviewing projects before onboarding them. The ETN has garnered €23.7 million in assets under management and targets a 7 per cent annual yield by providing liquidity to the Cardano ecosystem. The Fineqia Bitcoin Yield exchange-traded product (ETP) allows investors to earn yield denominated in Bitcoin, the largest and most popular cryptocurrency, while building a coin balance that compounds over time. The ETP has accumulated €11.6 million in assets and aims for a 6 per cent annual yield. The company also provides exposure to private and early-stage deal flow through more than a dozen direct and indirect investments active in gaming, non-fungible tokens, enterprise cloud, money exchange and high-precision positioning, each of them making novel use of blockchain technology to add value beyond legacy competitors. Fineqia differentiates itself from most pure-play crypto companies because it doesn't have to rely exclusively on raising capital, taking on debt or selling assets to bankroll future growth plans. Rather, its funds generate management fees, providing it with a source of cash flow to take advantage of strategic opportunities and built revenue supported by crypto's evolving but improving long-term growth prospects. The company's management team also brings clearly value-accretive experience to the table, with chairman Martin Graham serving as director of markets and head of AIM at the London Stock Exchange from 2003 to 2009, overseeing 1 in 4 of all global initial public offerings during his tenure, while CEO Bundeep Singh Rangar has long been active in the venture capital space with a focus on insurance and digital assets, attracting funding from the likes of Rakuten, Tim Draper, Madison Dearborn, Morgan Stanley, as well as the Thomson family of Thomson Reuters. Despite a growing portfolio, revenue generation and executives deeply familiar with separating solid value propositions from story and hype, Fineqia stock (CSE:FNQ) is down by 50 per cent since 2020, last trading at C$0.005, presenting investors with a data-driven chance to transform broader market reluctance into the harvesting of substantial upside, contingent on blockchain and cryptocurrency settling into stable, long-term use cases. Rangar joined Lyndsay Malchuk for episode 13 of Stockhouse's Contributors Corner, where they cover the ins and outs of the ongoing shift towards corporate Bitcoin treasuries. Watch the interview here. Thanks for reading!

Prediction: This Quantum Computing Stock Will Be Worth More Than Berkshire Hathaway, Palantir, and Tesla Combined by 2030

Key Points Google parent Alphabet is already nearly worth more than Berkshire, Palantir, and Tesla combined. If a few key assumptions hold up, the stock should be larger than these three companies within the near future. Quantum computing probably won't be Alphabet's biggest growth driver, though. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › What do Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) have in common? Not much. However, they're all large-cap companies that have achieved significant success in recent years. There's one common denominator we can definitely cross of the list: None of these three companies has quantum computing developments underway. But another tech giant does. And I predict it will be worth more than Berkshire, Palantir, and Tesla combined by 2030. A potential quantum computing monster The potential quantum computing monster I have in mind is Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL). My prediction doesn't require stepping out on a limb too much. Alphabet's market cap currently hovers around $2.3 trillion. That's only a little below the $2.4 trillion combined market caps of Berkshire Hathaway ($1.04 trillion), Palantir ($374 billion), and Tesla ($966 million). All Alphabet needs to do is grow a little faster than these three stocks over the next five years. I think that's doable. However, a few things have to happen for my prediction to pan out that have nothing to do with Alphabet. All bets are off if Berkshire Hathaway pulls off a massive acquisition under Warren Buffett's successor, Greg Abel, that turbocharges the company's growth. My hunch, though, is that Abel won't attempt anything fraught with such risk in his first few years as CEO. I'm assuming that Palantir's valuation catches up with it or that its growth doesn't catch up with its valuation. With the stock trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of nearly 278 and growth that doesn't come close to justifying this premium, I suspect I'm on pretty safe ground. With Tesla, I'm anticipating intense competition in the electric vehicle market from BYD and others. I'm banking on Cathie Wood and her Ark Invest team being wrong about projections that Tesla's market cap will skyrocket as the robotaxi market takes off. I'm also counting on it taking more than five years for Tesla to have a major commercial hit with its Optimus humanoid robots. Quantum computing and more Of course, Alphabet must deliver strong growth even if my assumptions about Berkshire, Palantir, and Tesla hold up. I'm optimistic that it will. By the way, my prediction doesn't hinge on the company having a major quantum computing breakthrough. That is a distinct possibility, though. Google Quantum AI has already achieved two of the six milestones on its quantum computing roadmap. It believes that building a useful quantum computer is feasible within this decade, too. What I am counting on is continued impressive growth from Google Cloud. The unit's revenue soared 32% year over year in the second quarter of 2025, the fastest growth rate among the big three cloud service providers. With a massive artificial intelligence (AI) tailwind at its back, I think sustained momentum for Google Cloud should be a pretty safe bet. I also look for Google Search, YouTube, and Alphabet's other advertising moneymakers to remain dominant in their markets. Some have warned of an existential threat to Google Search from generative AI. All I've seen so far is Google's generative AI initiatives helping secure its position in the search engine market. While I assume that the robotaxi market won't be big enough to give Tesla a market cap of nearly $10 trillion by 2030, I do think it could provide a nice boost to Alphabet's Waymo unit. The self-driving car business is likely to become an increasingly important growth driver for Alphabet. The elephant in the article Admittedly, there is a potential fly in the ointment with my prediction. It's also the elephant in the room (or, in this case, the article). Could the antitrust actions against Google threaten Alphabet's growth? Probably the best answer to this question is... maybe. However, I don't think it will happen before 2030. Google is appealing the two federal court rulings that went against it. The legal process could drag out for years. I wouldn't bet against the company prevailing. Even if it doesn't, my hunch is that most of the factors that currently make the stock attractive would remain intact. We'll know in five years if my prediction comes true. In the meantime, I view Alphabet as the best quantum computing stock (and one of the best AI stocks) on the market. Should you invest $1,000 in Alphabet right now? Before you buy stock in Alphabet, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Alphabet wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Should You Buy Lucid Group (LCID) Stock Before Aug. 5? Here's What History Says

Key Points Lucid Group has already reported vehicle production and delivery numbers for the second quarter, but will publish full Q2 results on Aug. 5. The company has historically seen big sell-offs following its earnings reports. Past performance can't predict what will happen to Lucid stock after earnings, but its share price could make a big move. 10 stocks we like better than Lucid Group › Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) stock saw a big pop last month after the company announced that it had entered into a robotaxi partnership with Uber Technologies. Uber will purchase 20,000 or more of the automaker's vehicles over the next six years and use them as key components of its robotaxi fleet. Lucid's share price has since had a substantial pullback. There will soon be another big potential catalyst that could spur substantial moves for the stock. The electric-vehicle (EV) specialist is set to release its second-quarter report and host an earnings conference call after the market closes on Aug. 5, and investors will be taking a close look at its margins and bottom line. If you're wondering what history says about your chances of success with buying Lucid's stock ahead of earnings, take a look at the chart below and read on for a deeper look at dynamics that could shape the company's valuation. Lucid's stock has historically struggled after earnings As the chart above shows, it's historically been a bad move to buy Lucid's shares ahead of the company's earnings reports. Most of its quarterly releases have corresponded with big sell-offs for the stock, and the EV specialist's share price is now down roughly 87% over the last three years. Sales and earnings performances have generally come in below the levels needed to spur gains for the stock: LCID Net Income (TTM) data by YCharts. Lucid has posted large losses across its history as a publicly traded company. At the same time, the business's sales growth has been very uneven after an initial ramp-up period. Heading into the upcoming earnings report, the business has recorded a net loss of roughly $2.4 billion on sales of roughly $870 million across the trailing-12-month (TTM) period. In other words, Lucid has lost roughly $2.76 for every $1 in revenue that it's generated over that stretch. There are good reasons to think that losses will continue to come in at high levels for the foreseeable future. Will Lucid stock see another sell-off after the Q2 report? Because Lucid announces its vehicle production and delivery numbers after each quarter, investors already have some key insights into what to expect with the second-quarter report. In the update it published at the beginning of July, the company announced that it had produced 3,863 vehicles and delivered 3,309 vehicles in Q2. For comparison, it produced 2,110 vehicles and delivered 2,394 vehicles in last year's second quarter. The rollout of the Gravity SUV has helped spur a significant uptick in production and deliveries, but the stock could see a big pullback if the upcoming Q2 report arrives with a wider-than-expected loss. Lucid's path to profitability hinges on achieving economies of scale that allow it to shift into posting positive gross margins on each vehicle sold, and then continuing on that track until it can deliver positive operating income margins. As things stand, it currently costs the company far more to produce each one of its vehicles than is recouped through a sale. Historically, Lucid Group's earnings reports have arrived with wide losses that have driven sell-offs for the stock. Given that shares already trade at a severely beaten-down price compared to where they were a few years ago, there's no guarantee that this dynamic will play out again after the next earnings report -- but investors will likely be looking to see that Lucid has a feasible path to eventually delivering big margin improvements. Should you invest $1,000 in Lucid Group right now? Before you buy stock in Lucid Group, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Lucid Group wasn't one of them.
