#278: How to Find Hidden, High Quality, Small-Cap Stocks

Author: MyWallSt September 18, 2025 Duration: 43:54

If you’re fatigued with the Magnificent Seven and their eye-watering valuations, maybe it’s time to look at some smaller market caps.

Pieter Slegers, founder of Compounding Quality, is back to discuss his new investing service, Tiny Titans. By focusing on small caps, an investor can outperform the market by about 4% a year. But by combining this with some of Slegers’ “Compounding Quality” characteristics, such as positive free cash flow and high insider ownership, that outperformance can increase to 6.5%.

Pieter’s goal is to achieve a yearly return of 15%, which would double your money every five years—perfect for long-term investors.

Tune in to hear about the importance of a stock checklist, what he looks for in a Tiny Titan, and to get a sneak peek at a stock on his watchlist.
