Emerald Asset Management Highlights Growth in Small Caps
In recent times, smaller public companies in the United States have struggled to keep up with their larger counterparts. However, amid this struggle, the investment professionals at Emerald Asset Management are starting to notice the promising signs of a resurgence in small-cap stocks. This optimism will come to light at their upcoming 32nd annual Groundhog Day Investment Forum, taking place online as a virtual event.
The Promise of Small Caps
Emerald’s insightful team of analysts and portfolio managers will be presenting a new and exclusive whitepaper, aptly named Springtime for Small Caps, which highlights specific opportunities within various sectors and industries. The focus will be on practical investment avenues where smaller companies can thrive.
Event Highlights and Panels
The Forum will kick off at 10:00 AM EST with a detailed introduction of the whitepaper, followed by interactive sessions that examine two key investment areas:
Life Sciences Opportunities
A panel discussion will take place focusing on Small Cap Opportunities in Life Sciences, led by Emerald’s dedicated Life Sciences research team. This vital analysis aims to unveil potential stocks that may be hidden gems within this thriving sector.
Technological Innovation
Another session will center around Small Cap Opportunities in Technology, where the emphasis will be on groundbreaking trends such as artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. This panel will be navigated by Emerald’s Technology research team, who will discuss how small-tech firms are poised for growth.
Executive Insights and Trends
Participants of the Forum will have the opportunity to hear from senior corporate executives during an Executive Roundtable. Esteemed panelists include Kevin Sterling, CFA and Senior Market Strategist at RXO, Inc. (NYSE: RXO), Scott Staples, CEO of First Advantage Corporation (NASDAQ: FA), and Eric Sprink, President & CEO of Coastal Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: CCB). Their insights are expected to provide valuable forecasts for the investment landscape.
Emerald's Commitment to Small Caps
Emerald’s Director of Research, Joseph W. Garner, expressed that the investment year truly begins with this Forum, celebrating the local tradition of Groundhog Day. Garner states, "This year, our investment team and their whitepaper will offer a unique viewpoint on the hidden opportunities within small-cap stocks." This forward-thinking perspective emphasizes the significant yet often overlooked growth that small-cap investments can provide.
In alignment with the Groundhog tradition, Emerald plans to continue its discussions through a series called “Six Weeks of Emerald.” This initiative will deliver weekly insights and perspectives from Emerald’s investment teams following the Forum.

Emerald CEO Scott L. Rehr acknowledges the recent success of large-cap stocks, stating, “We see the market shifting and broadening with new opportunities at hand.” He expresses enthusiasm about the potential for small-cap investors in 2025, reinforcing Emerald’s motto, “Innovation Starts Small®,” as they navigate these emerging trends.
