A brief dive into two best-performing micro-cap stocks
A stock price chart, though best-performing, tells only a partial story, capturing sentiment without its drivers, saying nothing about whether or not an ongoing trend will continue into the future. The market-tested investor knows to dig deeper – too experienced to be swayed by past performance's suggestion of future results – and paints a picture of a company's long-term viability based on financials, press releases and industry reports, putting it through the wringer en route to a high-conviction investment decision. In the newest edition of Stockhouse's Weekly Market Movers, we'll consider two micro-cap stocks with strong year-over-year returns, miles ahead of the TSX's 16.57-per-cent effort, looking to determine whether or not their underlying companies have what it takes to maintain momentum. Realbotix We begin with Realbotix, a company that creates and sells artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled, human-shaped robots for the purposes of entertainment, companionship and customer service. The robots, manufactured in the United States, boast true-to-life expressions, movements and speech. According to the company's 2025 guidance, it is well-capitalized to deliver on growth plans, including increasing its sales and marketing teams, to accommodate higher demand expected from robust media coverage and new technology dropping later this year. Realbotix stock (TSXV:XBOT) has added 223.33 per cent year-over-year – exactly one year since the company transitioned from its previous incarnation as – thanks to revenue growth in Q1 and Q2 2025 that's already outpacing all of 2024, supported by decreasing cost of goods sold and operating losses over the past three quarters. While Realbotix has generated positive net income in only two out of the past five quarters, a growing number of partnerships have the potential to grant the company the scale it needs to cut costs towards more stable profitability. Andrew Kiguel, Realbotix's chief executive officer (CEO), spoke with Stockhouse's Lyndsay Malchuk about the company's collaboration with on customer service robots. Watch the interview here. Innovotech And now for something completely different, we move to Innovotech, our second best-performing micro-cap stock pick ripping as of late, which tracks a Canadian company focused on biotechnology and specialized laboratory services. Here's a business breakdown: The company's Innovotech Labs subsidiary is a contract research organization specializing in antimicrobial testing and the commercialization of antimicrobial silver solutions. Its Keystone Labs subsidiary is an accredited lab serving Canadian pharmaceutical and industrial markets. Innovotech also owns 60 per cent of NouLifeSciences, which holds intellectual property related to antioxidant molecules with prospective applications in cosmetics and treating medical conditions including neuropathies. Innovotech's diversification across multiple products and platforms has served it well, allowing it to almost double revenue year-over-year in 2024, and set a run-rate in Q1 2025 to quadruple revenue by year end, this while generating an overall net income profit from 2020 to date including in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. Innovotech stock (TSXV:IOT), no surprise, has behaved positively in reaction, adding 83.33 per cent year-over-year, and stands to climb higher with client demand on a steep rise, prompting the company to expand its staff and equipment portfolio. Though profitable growth is relatively recent, Innovotech appears to be on a path to rapidly growing its share in the over US$10 billion antimicrobial coatings market, which is expected to post a 13.9 per cent compound annual growth rate through 2030. Craig Milne, Innovotech's president and CEO, joined Lyndsay Malchuk to discuss the company's financial performance including record revenue in Q1 2025. Watch the interview here. Thanks for reading! I'll see you next week for a new edition of Stockhouse's Weekly Market Movers. Here's the most recent article, in case you missed it.

When returns meet security: Why Almonty Industries is suddenly everyone's darling!
In 2025, the world looks at a map full of conflicts: tensions are escalating in Ukraine, the Middle East, and along new geopolitical fault lines in Asia and Africa. Hopes for peace are giving way to a reality of rearmament and militarization. This dynamic is fueling the defense industry. But its boom depends on an inconspicuous metal: tungsten. With its unique heat resistance and density, it is irreplaceable for armor-piercing ammunition, missiles, and high-performance alloys. While China dominates the global market, a Canadian company is stepping into the spotlight: Almonty Industries (TSX:AII). With the revival of the legendary Sangdong mine in South Korea and strategic partnerships, Almonty could become a key player for the West. Tungsten: The invisible backbone of security Tungsten is not a headline-grabbing commodity, but without it, nothing works. Its melting point of 3,422 degrees Celsius makes it the hardest metal on earth and indispensable in defense technology. Industry experts agree that without tungsten, there would be no hard steel for armor or high-impact ammunition. The problem is that over 80 per cent of global production is controlled by China. Since Beijing drastically cut exports in February 2025, NATO countries have been desperately searching for alternatives. According to estimates, Western reserves will only last for a few months – a nightmare for defense companies that want to ramp up production due to the boom. Almonty Industries: From underdog to strategic partner This is where Almonty Industries (TSX:AII) comes into play. The Company, which previously operated mines in Portugal and Spain, is positioning itself as a bridgehead for Western raw material security. The game changer is the Sangdong mine in South Korea. A historic mine dating back to the 1950s, which once supplied 30 per cent of the world's tungsten. After more than three decades of inactivity, Almonty will start production here in the second quarter of 2025. The figures are impressive. The property offers 7.89 million tons of ore reserves, a life span of 90 years, and has the potential to cover more than 40 per cent of non-Chinese production. Lyndsay Malchuk interviews capital markets expert Christopher Ecclestone on tungsten and Almonty Another deal that changes everything On May 7, Almonty signed an agreement underscoring the Company's strategic importance. Tungsten Parts Wyoming, a US defense contractor, has committed to purchasing at least 40 tons of tungsten oxide per month, which will be used exclusively for US defense applications such as missiles and drones. The highlight of the deal is a guaranteed minimum price combined with unlimited upside potential as global market prices rise. ' This binding purchase agreement represents a significant milestone for Almonty, as it secures both predictable revenue through a fixed minimum price and long-term demand directly linked to US defense programs ,' said CEO Lewis Black. The deal is not an isolated case. The Austrian Plansee Group secured long-term supplies back in 2020. At the end of January, it was announced that South Korean steel giant SeAH M&S would purchase all molybdenum from Sangdong, which is also located on the property. The 'Americanization' of a Canadian company Parallel to its operational expansion, Almonty is undergoing a structural change. At the most recent annual general meeting, a majority of shareholders voted in favor of relocating the headquarters to Delaware. This brings the Company closer to the US military complex. This is in line with the announcement on March 18 that the Company has entered into a strategic partnership with American Defense International, which has important networks in the US. The strategy is complemented by the planned listing on the NASDAQ, which is intended to attract new investor groups. The appointment of retired General Gustave F. Perna to the board was a symbolic coup. The former head of logistics for the US Army brings contacts in the Pentagon and knows how to make supply chains crisis-proof. Analysts: From niche player to mainstream player The financial world is beginning to recognize the potential. Peter Thilo Hasler of Sphene Capital sees the Company generating revenue of CAD 483.4 million and EBIT of CAD 198.8 million by 2027. His price target is CAD 5.40. GBC Research is more cautious at CAD 4.20, but points to the unique geopolitical leverage. Also in April, B. Riley Securities issued a 'Buy' recommendation with a target price of CAD 5.00. This puts the stock's potential between 70 and 120 per cent. Lyndsay Malchuk in an interview with GBC analyst Matthias Greiffenberger But it is about more than just numbers. Almonty embodies a paradigm shift. Countries are suddenly prioritizing security of supply over cost efficiency. This plays into the Company's hands. Demand already exceeds supply, and Almonty is one of the few players outside China that can scale up. Nevertheless, it is not possible to meet all the demand. Lewis Black said in an interview with FAZ: ' I realize that I have to tell many interested parties that I unfortunately cannot supply them immediately .' In a world that is moving toward division rather than globalization, tungsten is becoming a test case for Western resilience. Almonty Industries has set the course to fill this gap with the Sangdong mine, strategic alliances, and US domestication. Whether the mine will become the key to the West's tungsten supply also depends on the broader geopolitical climate. But one thing is clear: When security takes precedence over returns, companies like Almonty are no longer just commodity stocks – they become insurance policies against the unpredictability of the 21st century.

9 Million Fake Shares. One Broken System. Zero Accountability
By Lyndsay Malchuk | Stockhouse Publishing There's a slow-motion ambush happening in Canada's capital markets—and it's targeting the junior mining sector. The weapon? A 2012 rule change that killed the 'tick test' and handed short sellers carte blanche to crush small-cap companies. The result? Phantom shares, spoofing, and regulatory apathy that's draining billions from a sector critical to Canada's future. Terry Lynch isn't mincing words: 'This isn't about market strategy anymore. It's about manipulation.' As CEO of Power Metallic, founder of Save Canadian Mining, and sits on the Board of Directors for PDAC, Lynch has had enough. And he's naming names. 'When they scrapped the uptick rule, I said, how does this work?… You're testing on the Russell 3000. The average market cap there is $300 million. Ours is $15 million. This makes no sense.' But the regulators didn't care then—and they still don't. 'We're losing every day. Enough already. Enough pushing the ball down the road. Wake the hell up. Stop this rule.' Power Metallic uncovered 9 million fake shares in its own trading. That number has since more than tripled. 'We asked the investment banks for an explanation—crickets. Finra and the IIROC don't respond. They say they 'don't deal with individual complaints.'' Lynch likens naked short selling to counterfeiting: 'If you photocopy your car permit ten times and sell it to ten people, that's fraud. You go to jail. But it happens every day in the stock market.' He doesn't believe Canadian regulators were outright complicit—but he's clear they've failed spectacularly. 'It's tough to admit you're wrong. But the reality is: you've been wrong on this issue. And you've allowed it to go on.' He points to South Korea, which shut down short selling in five days. Meanwhile, in Canada, 'they say it'll take six months.' 'That's bullshit. It's lack of political will.' Canada is sitting on the critical minerals the world is desperate for—and yet junior explorers are getting slaughtered. 'We used to raise $100 billion a year. Last year? $20 billion. Only the top 50 companies got 70% of it. Everyone else is starving.' Even as gold rips, the juniors aren't moving. Why? 'Because every time an investor backs a junior, the stock gets sold off. Discoveries don't matter anymore. Nobody gets rewarded.' Lynch wants three things: the tick test reinstated, naked short selling banned, and short market exemptions eliminated. 'This should be our glory years. But without capital, we're dead. This isn't just a mining issue—it's an equity market crisis.' And he's backing it up with action. Save Canadian Mining is raising $250,000 to re-launch its advocacy campaign, calling on junior CEOs to step up. 'Power Metallic gave $25,000. We're asking others to join—$1,000, $5,000, whatever you can.' With a minority government in place and a Prime Minister who says he supports mining, Lynch is clear: 'This is a national security issue. It's in the Prime Minister's purview. Fix the capital markets. Or watch this industry die.' Because while Canada dithers, Australia is eating our lunch—and the U.S. is circling like a hawk. 'We got here because we're weak. We need to get strong again. And it starts by cutting the head off the snake.' To learn more, visit: 🎧 Watch Now: Terry Lynch doesn't sugarcoat a thing—and that's exactly why you need to hear this conversation.

Base US Gulf Coast natural gas assets with significant growth opportunities
Southern Energy Corp., a growth focused natural gas producer making waves in the US Gulf Coast has significant growth opportunities with new wells to bold capital moves. Lyndsay Malchuk recently caught up with Ian Atkinson, President and CEO to unpack more of that. LYNDSAY: Southern Energy's core story has always been about value in overlooked basins, but let's fast forward to this year. I mean, what changed in your DNA? For investors not up to speed, how would you define Southern today? Are you looking for opportunity, are you aggressive? Or are you something else entirely? IAN:Good question. You know, and I would start off with people who maybe don't know us well is our DNA has not changed since inception. You're right, we are operating in the US Gulf Coast area. So much different than Canadian companies that some of these viewers and listeners might be more accustomed to. Our strategy has always been to consolidate and develop assets in these areas that have been largely overlooked and frankly, historically undercapitalized by US companies, which even to this day remain very focused on developing shale plays like the Permian and the Marcellus. Maybe to use one of your adjectives, Lyndsay, I would combine two of them and say we're opportunistically aggressive. You know, we've shown we can be patient through poor pricing like we've had in the last 18 months. And we've also shown the markets we can be aggressive like we were back in late 2022, early 2023 when gas prices were $7, $8, $9 US per BTU. We do have the base assets with significant growth opportunities embedded in them. And at the same time, we're always looking for that right fit for that step function change in scale through an opportunistic acquisition. LYNDSAY: Now you're drilling in the heart of the Gulf Coast that we mentioned arguably one of the most strategically placed in premium price markets in North America. So is this a no-brainer or are there risks here that others aren't even talking about then? IAN: It really is the heart of the commodity space in North America. You want to be at the market like this is. I would say it was certainly a purposeful decision to set up shop here in the US Gulf Coast. You know, the combination of that premium commodity pricing and underdeveloped assets in this basin do make it a no brainer for a company like us, which is growth oriented. To expand on that a little bit, due to our assets location and owning the majority of our own infrastructure, we receive sometimes a 10% to 15% premium to NYMEX for our natural gas pricing, which is quite unique, especially when you compare it to the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and most other basins in the US where they receive sometimes a quite large discount to NYMEX for their pricing. Also, this jurisdiction is very interesting for us because it is where the LNG or the liquified natural gas export business has really taken off in the US. They have the ability right now to export 17 billion cubic feet a day of liquified natural gas, and we'll be reaching over 35 BCF a day in 2030. So, a massive increase in export scale, which makes the US the largest exporter of LNG in the world and obviously when we look to the future, making a very supportive case for the future of US gas pricing and especially in the area of the US Gulf Coast where we are operating. LYNDSAY: Now. Let's peel back your project just a little bit further. You just closed a $7.2 million equity raise. Tight market, shaky sentiment where tariffs are the topic of this discussion across the board. What gave you the confidence to tap the markets now and more importantly, how should investors read that move? IAN: It always has to be a very calculated decision for companies like us to go into the equity markets because they are tough. But we can see the supply and demand dynamics for natural gas are fundamentally changing in the US and I think a lot of our investors can as well. Our assets are located within the US which means obviously they're not part of any tariff discussions compared to other countries. Canada being one of them. And the equity raise timing for us was 100% to be offensive. Initiating our growth again heading into summer where we typically see higher premiums for our natural gas pricing than we do in the winter. As an example, the summer coming up right now, the gas prices are trading at US$3.70 for MMBtu. Our basis premium is about $0.50 on top of that. So, we're selling gas into a US$4.20 US market, which is equivalent to about a $6.00 Canadian price if you compare it to the Canadian base. So, we certainly have that opportunity for us here in the summer and frankly why we hit the trigger on the equity raise. LYNDSAY: Let's talk about your wells. You've got three new ones online soon, but soon can actually mean a lot of things in this business. So can you give us a real world timeline here? IAN: Yes, and for those who don't know the company, that aren't familiar. We were in the middle of a major capital program that we paused back in the end of 2023 because of the fall of natural gas prices. But what that did leave us with these three horizontal wells that are drilled and ready for completion at one of our large natural gas assets named Gwinville. A little bit of a history lesson, Gwinville has been historically one of Mississippi's largest producing gas fields. It has produced over 1.2 trillion cubic feet of gas and over 12 million barrels of oil. What we are redeveloping here at that field is three zones that have up to 600 to 700 billion cubic feet of remaining gas. So a lot of gas when you look at the context of a small company like ours. But more succinct to the timing, we are planning to complete this first well, in late May. We have a date with the pumping services already booked, and that means we'll be bringing this well into production here in early June. The plan from there is to complete the next two horizontal wells, kind of one every three months, which is more around our facilities capacity, et cetera. But investors should expect to see a steady stream of results that will actually grow our production and cash flow and prove up over 120 remaining locations at Gwinville. Also in the program this year, and part of this equity raise was we are planning to drill into some of our higher liquids weighting assets outside of Gwinville starting in Q3 and Q4 of this year. LYNDSAY: So, you've really ramped up on financing then you've got the wells ready to go and you're sitting in a prime pricing corridor. So what's the real upside here? What can investors genuinely look forward to in the back half of 2025 that isn't just baked into the share price already? Ian: You know, historically people look back at our share price chart, it's been up and down, and we tend to trade very succinctly with the price of natural gas. So we have shown the markets that the torque we have to increasing gas prices. But on the flip side of that, as gas prices fell, so did our share price. So for example, if you look back in 2022, 2023, our shares were trading over a dollar and as gas prices increased, so that $5, $6, $7 and in that year we were named the best performing stock on the TSX Venture increasing from 10 cents per share to over a $1.40 per share at its peak. You know, I do feel we're in a bit of a better position now even than we were back in 2022 with these wells that we've discussed here today that are already drilled and waiting for completion so quicker for us to bring them into production and cash flow. So I think we're poised for a comeback after 18 months of what have been painfully low gas prices and very little capital spending. We're very excited to be back on the growth trajectory now. Again, that was Ian Atkinson, President and CEO of Southern Energy. You can learn more about them over on their website at and you can find them on the Venture under the ticker symbol, SOU.
