1 Small-Cap Stock to Research Further and 2 to Question
Small-cap stocks can be incredibly lucrative investments because their lack of analyst coverage leads to frequent mispricings. However, these businesses (and their stock prices) often stay small because their subscale operations make it harder to expand their competitive moats. These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here is one small-cap stock that could be the next 100 bagger and two that could be down big.

The Preview: Clarke and his Scotland players must put on big-boy pants and embrace Liechtenstein friendly
If there was any lingering doubt as to the wisdom and success of the Nations League, these bleak end-of-season Scotland internationals have surely ended it. Who in their right minds wants to go back to those dark days when every other Scotland match seemed to be a sparsely-attended experiment that invariably ended in defeat? A traumatic flashback arrived in the shape of a 3-1 loss to Iceland on Friday night, the first of two friendlies scheduled to make up for the absence of a World Cup qualifier during this international break. Now Scotland's players and supporters must go to Liechtenstein, take a deep breath and pretend that they wouldn't rather be sunning themselves on a beach somewhere. Or, at least, contesting a competitive game – if not a World Cup qualifier (Scotland's four-team group doesn't start till September), then perhaps a Nations League tie that offers a better gauge of where they are at. One thing's for sure: these meaningless yawnfests bring out the worst in Scotland, who have somehow contrived to win only one of their last 10 friendlies. And that was against Gibraltar. Northern Ireland and Finland are among the teams Steve Clarke and his players have failed to beat during that sequence. They scarcely need to be reminded that adding Liechtenstein to the list is unthinkable. After all, here is a side who stand 205th in the FIFA rankings, 161 places below Scotland. The Nations League has enabled them to play more frequently against teams of similar stature, but still they have struggled to win games. In their last 47 internationals, they have produced just one victory – a 1-0 triumph at home to Hong Kong last October. Liechtenstein haven't won a competitive match in five years. They have already lost the first three of their World Cup qualifying campaign, against North Macedonia, Kazakhstan and Wales, who knocked three goals past them in Cardiff on Friday. Their next outing in Group J will be against Belgium in September. The temptation is to assume that nothing can be gained from so skewed a fixture. That Clarke and his bedraggled squad are on a hiding to nothing. That, in the circumstances, they would be better with no game at all than one that has the potential to inflict upon them even deeper humiliation. But there is, in these dog days of Clarke's six-year tenure, an opportunity of sorts. While anything other than a victory would make the pressure on him almost unbearable, a convincing win would take the edge off increasingly vehement calls for his dismissal and ensure that Scotland don't head into the World Cup qualifying campaign with their confidence completely shot. Most of us have reached the conclusion that Clarke has been in the job long enough. With four wins in 21 games, as well as an end-of-days feel about the team, he isn't anyone's idea of the perfect man to lead Scotland into their Group C opener against Denmark this autumn. But the reality is that he is unlikely to have his contract terminated before then. So we all, players included, might as well put on our big-boy pants and see what can be salvaged from Clarke's remaining months in the job. In the first instance, that means puffing out the chest and recognising that there is, against our better judgement, something to be gleaned from a bounce game in Liechtenstein two weeks after the season was supposed to have ended. Like recording the victory that would improve Scotland's record, at least on paper (two defeats in seven wouldn't be so bad). And blooding one or two newcomers. If Lennon Miller can't get his first Scotland start in a training exercise against Liechtenstein, when can he? It means resting the big guns such as Scott McTominay, Andy Robertson and John McGinn, whose seasons at the highest level have taken a mental and physical toll. And seeing if, for the first time in a year, a striker can score for Scotland. George Hirst got himself into good positions against Iceland and deserves another chance. More than anything, it means ditching the back five and reverting to the four-man defence that performed well enough in parts of the last Nations League campaign. In a game like this, there is no need for three centre-halves. Nor should there be any obligation to accommodate both Robertson and Kieran Tierney. So it makes sense to pick a flat back four, not least because it is the system that will suit winger Ben Doak, Scotland's brightest prospect, when he returns from injury. This last, grudging game of a grim international season is no more a big night than the Rheinpark Stadion, Vaduz is one of the game's great amphitheatres. It's not the World Cup. It's not even the Nations League. But it's incumbent upon Clarke and the players he picks to get as much as they possibly can from it.

Haaland scores as Norway crush Italy in WC qualifier, Croatia rout Gibraltar
Erling Haaland scored and Norway humbled Italy 3-0 for the first time in 25 years in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup on Friday. Haaland collected a through ball from playmaker Martin Odegaard and rounded goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the box for the third goal three minutes before halftime. It was his 41st goal in his 42nd match for Norway to the delight of the spectators at Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo, including King Harald V of Norway. Haaland also scored when Moldova was beaten 5-0 and Israel 4-2. Norway remained perfect in qualifying after three games in Europe Group I. Striker Alexander Sorloth received a precise pass from Antonio Nusa then beat Donnarumma with a left foot shot. Nusa, the 20-year-old attacking midfielder, was a constant threat to the Italian defense. He left behind two defenders and doubled the advantage with a rising shot from inside the area. Italy was missing some regulars for its first qualifying match, while others failed to impress, including Mateo Retegui, the best Serie A scorer. Defenders Alessandro Buongiorno and Mattia Gabbia, defensive midfielder Manuel Locatelli and forward Moise Kean were all injured while key center back Francesco Acerbi, who was meant to mark Haaland, turned down his callup. Diego Coppola played center back in the three-man defensive line used by coach Luciano Spalletti that was not able to stop Norway. In the other Group I game, Israel won in Estonia 3-1 for a second win and second place. The Azzurri are under pressure from the start of their qualifying after failing to reach the last two World Cups. Winning the group is the only way to ensure direct qualification to next year's tournament in North America. The second-placed team goes into the playoffs - the stage where Italy was eliminated by Sweden and North Macedonia and ruled out of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, respectively. A four-time World Cup champion, the only other time Italy didn't qualify was for the 1958 edition. Italy hosts Moldova on Monday when Norway will be in action at Estonia. Croatia opened its qualifying with a 7-0 rout of minnow Gibraltar. Mario Pašalić and Ante Budimir struck twice for Croatia within two minutes to break the deadlock after half an hour. In the second half, substitutes Andrek Kramaric and Franjo Ivanovis scored a couple each and Ivan Perisic piled on. Croatia was runner-up in the 2018 World Cup and third in 2022. In the same Group L, Adam Hložek and Patrik Schick each scored as the unbeaten Czech Republic beat Montenegro 2-0 for a third straight win. Belgium was 1-0 up on a goal by defender Maxim De Cuyper but Ezgjan Alioski salvaged a draw for North Macedonia in a surprise in Group J. Wales tops the group with seven points from three games after a 3-0 victory over Liechtenstein. North Macedonia was two points behind. Europe will have 16 teams in the expanded 48-team field for the World Cup. They will come from the winners of the 12 qualifying groups plus four from a playoff of the 12 group runners-up together with four best-ranked group winners in the Nations League that don't finish first or second in the qualifying. The group stage of European qualifying runs through November. Meanwhile, Belgium's defence came in for criticism after giving away a late equaliser to North Macedonia in their World Cup qualifier on Friday but coach Rudi Garcia said he had to show faith in them ahead of their next clash against Wales on Monday.
