Revisiting 2 Outperform Microcaps
Zacks highlights two microcap stocks with Outperform ratings that have delivered strong returns. Perma-Pipe International (PPIH) has gained 250% since May 2024, benefiting from Middle East infrastructure and data center expansion, though facing near-term margin pressure from facility ramp-up costs. Friedman Industries (FRD) has returned 120% since December upgrade, demonstrating operational leverage with EBITDA more than doubling despite steel industry cyclicality risks.
